yeeee got this mobo last weekend when my striker has commited suicide, and wow, what a great motherboard!

My quad is running pretty smoothly now, i remember i couldnt even get 3.2 ghz stable on striker, and now lol, i get 3.4 STABLE!

the max i have got so far was 3.6, not stable tho, but i didnt work up enough on voltages, so i think that with some more hand work i can achieve that for sure.

Indeed, i've been reading some posts of people who have had 4 SATA connectors dead, with long VGA placements, and yep, it seems that the SATA connectors have some rivality with the long VGA cards, my 8800 Ultra has killed nonetheless 4 of the 6 Sata entries on my board, and lol, almost killed 6 out of 6!

But anyways, this board is impressive, i shall post some bench results here later, and my settings aswell. I have been using so far 7 x 460 and one thing i have noticed is that my memory latencies are fairly high, never under 70 ns. In my striker, at same DDR frequencies, i had very low 50's ns, never more than 54 or 55. Is this normal? Yep Memory static read(i guess its this) is disabled under bios, and everything is set up correctly, but i just wondered it was kinda strange to get such high latencies.

Well, im happy with the board, pretty nice, great buy! My Striker has been replaced decently.
