This is a response to the guy that wrote the review complaining about having FF code. FF code stands for ''FULLY FUNCTIONAL'' which means your motherboard is working correctly. plug your monitor in next time genius. Anyways this motherboard rocks! if you want a powerful and an amazing solution for overclocking then this is the motherboard for you.

this mobo is a beast. only problem was well i pulled my hair out for 2 weeks trying to figure out why it kept blue screening before i could even install xp, turns out i needed to lower the ram freq. to 1333mhz then it worked perfect. even though this board is supposed to support higher frequencies and the ram does too.. it doesn't seem to wanna work right. OCZ 4096MB PC12800 DDR3 1600MHz DDR3 (2x2048MB) (O261-8098 ) Other than that i'm running crysis on very high with the ram the way it is so i don't care this board is awesome.

Awesome motherboard !..Buy it !.. BIOS is extremly tweakable..If you're a serious overclocker/enthusiast this board is definately for you..If you're not, then don't waste your money..Make sure not to get a HSF with heat pipes sticking out the sides of it cause it won't fit due to the chipset cooling fins, or just stick with the stock HSF (wouldn't recommend it)... CONS: Nothing major at all..The ''actual'' voltage and frequency settings in BIOS won't match the ''set'' settings..Can mean the difference between a stable overclock, or not..So heads up..Seems they err on the lower safe side of things..Chipsets run HOT on alot of these boards cause of poor contact between chipsets and heat sinks and poor thermal paste..EVGA is aware of this..Remove the chipset cooler and use some good thermal paste before you install this board.... Conclusion: Excellent board, rock solid, highly overclockable..It's not perfect, but it's darn close enough.
