    I have been having hard time since yesterday I bougth this board.On default everything was fine.When it came to overclocking......oh man.In the begining I could not install ntune.I downloaded every last version(chipset drivers/ntune)and then instaled succesfully but it is not working(the problem above).I also can't run my memory @800-1T(memtest counts thousands of errors)when the same modules where running fine @1000 4-4-4-8 on 975x chipset.With 2T it seams to be ok but some short 32M spi runs I made,shows much slower times than 975x.

    I was impressed by the Vr-Zone clocking of this mobo..real world end users are looking a nightmare..have you tried the 'P20' BIOS PTG?

    @thebeast...why the "real world nightmare" comment? So far the board is behaving nicely for me. I suspect after having the board for a few days and taking your time with it that most will agree it's not a bad board at all...Trying to slam home the highest OC you can get right out of the box is going to be met with lots of disappointment on any new board.

    Is your ram running fine on 1T?

    The board has a small learning curve and require fiddling to get it to optimal speed. One could spend a few days playing with memory timing and ratios alone.

    They have done a great job for out of the box "auto" performance as well.

    Agreed...setup was a snap with this board. Figuring out "what" you want to do with the memory is going to be the most time consuming aspect. there is plenty to play with...

    @ PTG...seemed fine right up to about 800mhz...can't say for sure on anything at this point though till I have it for a few more days. 6~8 hours is no where near enough time get a handle on this or any other board...

    Sorry to tell FUGGER but I feel disapointed.Can't boot under440fsb and I can't adjust it from Windows.Also without 1T can't reach 975x performance.

    I dont even want to change motherboard if nobody can show that it performes the same clock for clock.

    If not then it is just a STUPID hunt for Higher fsb without any performance gain.

    Thus you pay more in power bill because you run 4.5 Ghz instead of 4. Ghz on a 975 but performance is the same????

    does it natively support QUAD SLI??? (7950x2)

    And would 7950 x 2 be competitive to 8800gtx x 2??

    Higher FSB allows users with low end Conroe processors to reach a decent speed.

    There are FSB holes above 400FSB, you need to jump out to 500FSB, try like 2020, 2040, 2060, 2080 bus speeds.

    Dont over-volt, stick to around 1.5v on FSB, MCP, SPP

    Just tryed enything between 1780 to 2100.NO GO for me.And why my mouse pointer jumps around desktop when in high cpu clocks(sure under 3500Mhz).
    Only good thing with this board is that can run my memory @3-3-3 but always on 2T witch still sucks in performance.I am missing my AW9D-MAX that could do 470+fsb

    Please forgive my stupidity, didnt take any pictures or screenshots.

    This motherboard is the real deal. I'll have some registered results soon.

    ....

    All these quirks dont make me feel that confident about purchasing this board.
    The 'learning curve' sounds more appropriate than 'nightmare' i must admit,but ive come from sending back 3 x ASUS' (2 P5B deluxes and a P5WDH)
    and i dont want to mess around so much for an overclocked, stable platform again.
    >shrug< i do want this board..i'll just hang back and see how the idiosynchroses pan out.Good luck.
