This motherboard does exactly what it says its does. It overclocks quite well and it has many great features (like the ability to save different bios settings). Make sure to up date the BIOS as soon as you can the latest releases fix major issues with the on board graphics.

The IDE placement is HORRIBLE ant its almost impossible to get to a CD drive if you have a large graphics card in the way of the IDE cable. Most of the other connectors are well placed... however the COM port is randomly placed beside the RAM... i find that a bit strange.

The onboard graphics are not good for games at all..... but just perfect for word or using the internet.

My temperatures are quite low (CPU almost runs at air temperatures over clocked by 700MHz)
