Hi,
recieved the board today. I will post more shots and results this weekend!
*Benchmarks*
Vista Home Premium 64Bit
2 x 1GB G.Skill PC8500GBHK
AMD X2 6000+
HD2900XT Catalyst 7.10
Both boards at bios defaults.
*Overclocking*
Max. HT is somewhere around 380 - 400MHz on my board, same on the board of a friend.
CPUs are working really great on this board! On nforce i just reached 3300MHz for 24/7 with around 1,48V, but had always strange BSODs in idle..
My mates 6400+ is doing 3504MHz 1,376V on his board!
Now this are my new 24/7 settings:
No BSODs or something else! I'm really impressed!
RAM overclocking is also way better on this board then on my M2N! Couldn't get ther above 520MHz. For now i didn't reached the maximum oc on the M3A! Just tested the 600MHz i didn't reached on M2N for 1M and it worked flawlessy! Beated my best 1M time with 3000MHz, which is 0.3xxs faster over the M2N.

*Bios*
*Conclusion*
Positiv:
- Performance
- OC settings
- Layout
- chipsets are really cool
Negativ:
- Imho there are way to less temperature and voltage readings for such a expensive board
- A lot of unknown bios settings, without any description
Will add new points as soon as i find something!
