Pros: I have overclocked with this board my Q9450, which is running at 3.3ghz with no voltage increases, this baby overclocks like a CHARM! Not to mention my RAM latencies shot down from 5-5-5-15 to 4-4-4-12 with no changes in voltages either, planning on going lower. I can on the other hand, overclock more, but I happen to be waiting for my Cosmos S case and watercooling to pass 4ghz, which with this motherboard, isn't a sweat.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I had been unaware that there was a northbridge heatsink for about 2-2 1/2 weeks, and my Northbridge was roasting at around 70 degrees celcius, and somehow survived...though after I stuck it on, it cooled off a ton, and my overclocking potential increased slightly.
