The motherboard felt pretty good cuz I've stuck with no problems whatsoever and It was quite a relief after when I first saw bent down pins thinking I did it when taking CPU off the socket even I have no idea how it could even happen.
So no problems with posting and code is AA. Yes it's the very same CPU, I recently easily overclocked it to 5GHz to make some memory bandwidth tests.
I don't know how it's gonna turn out in the future cuz Im about to RMA the motherboard. It's old B2 rev. Deluxe.
