If you put an extreme chip in this board, be prepared to be disappointed. From my time with it, it is very capable overclocker as far as the u-ATX integrated graphics boards go, but it is by no means the kinda board that you would want to waste a $1000 chip on. You would probably do well with it, but i would have to ask you what you are looking for getting a IGP u-ATX board with a top of the line chip.

Why not get something more sensible for that CPU that has proper high quality power delivery and a full set of overclocking options such as GTL tuning and tRD settings?
