Just set this board up last night. Used C-N's settings for reference ( ). Board was giving me all types of problems with my Patriot 9600 (2*1GB) ELK sticks. Kept rebooting and rebooting. Threw back in my trusty Patriot 8000 +XBL (2*1GB) sticks and all has been chugging along nicely! Don't know if its defective 9600 sticks, or just the board doesn't like them. They are brand new. Should have tried them on my IP35-PRO before disassembling. Right now I am running my Q6600 SLACR L727918 @ 3870 (430*9 1.55v) and its been rock solid. Using the Thermalright 120Xtreme and my temps are hovering around 45 degrees using CoreTemp. Memory is running at 1078. So far the board seems a bit snappier than the IP35-PRO which I was running this same processor on and memory (on the PRO though I could not go 1 FSB above 425). I just wish the other motherboard manufacture's would come out with something similar to the uGuru that Abit uses.

I've been using the included onboard sound as well. Getting tired of my X-Fi and Creative's drivers. Sound is really good with no noticeable hisses or pops.

For now, this board gets the . Now gotta figure out whats up with these 9600 modules...
