    Heh, if I could afford the DDR3 I would. I'm quite happy with the performance of my G.Skill 4GB DDR2 kit, esp. considering the price. All I want for Christmas is a working motherboard to put it in.

    pure overkill and a waste of money if you ask me

    water on the NB (or very good air) is ALL this board needs, the mosfets don't need any more attention and my SB runs cool with passive ramsinks.

    i DO love this board

    currently on 0901 with no problems but methinks i will try 0903 too.

    I thought that was what XS was all about

    Nice case btw !

    I just realized something for ram volatage I always left it on auto , this might be the issues with my overlclock. I'm going to set them at 2.20V and see what happens . Does Crucial have warranty on their ram ?

    Yes I got 1.02G on my NON-SE board.
    My northbridge temps are crazy. 53c load with HR-05 IFX + fan blowing on it.
    With my SE board i get around 35-38c load with HR-05 IFX.
    Something is strange with my NON-SE board for sure...
