This post isn't really meant as a flame, just a little tired and annoyed with this board at the moment.... here is my current list of complaints:

1> vDroop. 0.13V under load (Q6600 @ BIOS 1.45V 3700).
2> Random system instability (RAM gets errors whilst @ stock, then works perfectly for several hours even @ like 1100 4-4-4 2.2V; seems to cycle between the two). Restarting, and powering off and on don't seem to effect.
3> Four phase PWM's get really hot. This is what is currently holding my OC back (would go higher, but 3800 needs more volts, and anything more than this makes PWM temps go way high, then the system restarts). It is fairly consistent, I can prime happily until PWM's hit 85C ish, then BSOD. Yes, there is a fan pointing at them.
4> PCI based Gigabit Ethernet. .... que cosa?
5> Randomly not booting after resetting BIOS (even taking out battery / power cycling / etc). I've had errors ranging from 7B to C1 to 0D - 0D isn't even mentioned in the book.
