I totally agree with pee3, I can achieve great clocks that seem perfectly stable with this board... but then I'll have a random BSOD. Clocking lower doesn't seem to help. More voltage doesn't seem to help. Monitored temps are all reasonable... just to be sure I'm going to install new heatsinks all around on the board, but considering that I just paid over $80 for heatsinks, that brings the total for my board (w/ aftermarket heatsinks) to over $210.
I'm of the opinion that I shouldn't have to spend top dollar on a board and CPU to achieve high performance, which is, IMO, the whole point of overclocking. To those of the same opinion, I would look for a different board. I just wish I could suggest another board, but I can't. I was also looking at a P35 Abit board before I bought this one, but since I didn't give it a shot, I can't say how they would compare.
