Great MOBO

Stable, great overclocking potential, affordable, and well designed. Did I mention stable? It has a number of functions directed at the overclocker that make working with this board a pleasure. So far, I have my new C2D E8500 O/C to 4.06 GHz @ 1.16v (according to CPU-Z, in the bios it is 1.21v). Installation is also a breeze.

The placement of the power cables is my only complaint. With my case (Antec P180 with the PSU on the bottom), the power cable runs right across my video card. Not a big issue, just looks ugly!

This is a great motherboard. It installed easily and is a rock solid overclocker. It booted first time and every time. The board itself is nicely laid out for the most part lending to easy installation.

As you can see from the nit-pick nature of my only con, this is a great product and I have no problems recommending it.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Broke after 8 months

Worked great for 8 months. Has an LED on it (unlike the Gigabyte that it replaced).

Everything starts to fire up as normal when I turn the machine on (the LED even turns on!!!), but the system won't post. Real pain! Just submitted an RMA, but it's such a hassle sending these things back!

Why don't these things last?!?!
