Great buy!
The tools that come with the driver cd are a great thing to have, being able to monitor the cpu freq and temp at anytime is great as well as being able to monitor everything else going down on the mobo. Was a little disappointed by the turbo add on, it stopped my upgrade at 3895mz when i know I can boost up to 4000mhz no problem considering i did it manually and the system is flawless. I just figured they would have had a bit better auto upgrade modes even on extreme it only boosted to 3895mhz
