this board rocks!

I have orderd 6 of these so far. ALL of them have been ROCK SOLID. I have built all 6 of of them into extencive heavy use gaming systems. these boards kick so much @ss!! the overclocking ability is top of the line. you have a full range of options. overclocking an e8400 to 3.8ghz on other boards requires a .15mv increase on the vcore and atleast .2 increase on the ram. i can get STABLE on a .4 increase on vcore and no increase on the rams voltage. i dont use noob software to stress test my system either. i use nothing but OCCT. reading the complains and cons the other reviewers posted about this board, i can assure you 100% that they have no freakin clue as to what they are talking about. i can officially confirm that every complaint people have on this board is either a lie or a result of mental retardation on the users end. especially the user complaing about 5.1 audio not working.

the heatsink on the northbridge has a very thin layer of adhesive thermal paste. do not manipulte the boards position by grabbing onto it. if it pops up from its seating then press it back down firmly and wiggle it around while applying pressure.

really, this is best board you can get for the price. motherboard reviews on newegg mean nothing... so many noobs want to build their own system but have no idea whats really wrong when something goes wrong, and they write a bad review blaming the motherboard.
