Also, I believe this mobo has GTL tuning as well...
ah, so you just want a uATX board that you can overclock. So you just want to go overboard for a HTPC that you can play games on? I was just curious what you'd be doing with your HTPC that would require a top of the line quad core and a compromised small form factor board.

But anyway, I was just making sure, cause you will probably be able to push the QX9650 much further in the DFI board you have in your sig. Yeah this board does have GTL tuning, but mostly for optimizing dual cores. It can't control the levels on the signaling coming from each die on the package like the DFI board, so it's a shot in the dark as to how much room that will buy you.
