PCPER.com: 5 GHZ+ Phenom II Overclock on Dry Ice, 6Ghz on LN2

[QuietIce]

Yeah, I'd rather keep boards like we have now just with better PWMs. I don't need artwork, I just want a slab of PCB with some PCIe slots on it, some RAM slots, and a CPU socket. I care not what it looks like or how "simple" or "old" the layout is. Style can bite me. Give me an affordable board that can demonstrate good performance any day!

IMO the current AM2 offerings arent very impressive im not saying they wont perform but I would rather go with the feature stacked intel 1366 boards which look nice offer performance and are stacked with features

Even my old M3A32 has one of the best power distribution systems I've ever seen. NO vDrop and NO vDroop, either. I couldn't believe it and assumed I had gotten a "golden board" but several others here on XS reported the same thing. It also has 6 +1 external SATA ports and RAID 5 on down. Newer SB750 boards have similar characteristics. All have AMD Overdrive, which has unbelievable options for clocks, timings, multi's, and voltage control. What more could you want ...?
