I am considering this board to replace my asus P5K Vanila....The asus board works fine but I had an issue where it wouldn't boot 2 or 3 times no matter what I did....I had to borrow some cheap ram boot up with that and then stick in my Gskill HZ and be able to boot but besides that its rock stable and overclocks good for my needs....Seeing a few posts about asus P5K mobos blowing up with quad cores under load and i will be upgrading to a quad core whenever the games start taking advantage of it so I figured I upgrade to this abit board! Will it be compatible with my ram 2 x 1 GB g.Skill DDR2 800 HZ 4-4-4-12 ? Also does the whole heat pipe cooling system need a small fan blowing over it for more stability or is it fine as is ?
