"I was glad to test out the board myself to verify the raves on it. On the one hand, I quickly picked out why it was so appealing for many: Straight-forward easy overclocking just about anyone can enjoy with a little read up and effort. And we're not talking about small headroom but more like easy way over 400MHz FSB deals. On the other hand I did come to find that the 3 phase-power can be a rather limiting factor when it comes to extreme overclocking. The performance of this board is pretty good as well, lagging behind very slightly in graphics performance when going up against a much more premium motherboard, yet holding it's own in 2D performance. But the most appealing aspect of it would be the price- USD$150 (SGD$250) for a good motherboard supporting the latest chipset and latest processor is defintiely a good deal. For that alone would warrant a recommendation, but top it off with great and easy overclocking capabilities definitely motivates me enough to search for that dusty BestBuy medal to pin on this piece of hardware."
