I've had this board now for about 9 months. I got it as a combo with an amd 64x2 3800 and a 7600 gs vid card, 2gigs ultra ddr2 667 and a xion case(replaced the 450watt psu for a 600 watt) It was my first build in years. Wanted to make a cheap gamer. The oc for the cpu works very easily to 2.32 up from stock 2.0, and maxed the voltage for stability. Got the masscool cpu heatsink/fan along with all other parts from Tiger. Still runs strong, no problems with anything, as with any board, update your drivers. Runs great for Unreal Tournament 3 gives me 60fps on medium setting.
