It's a good board.

nice layout, heatpipe, digital vrm, all solid capacitors.. some might say that 680i chipset runs a little hotter.. but i've seen rd600 (northbridge) chipset runs hotter at 50-70C at stock default.

really want to see full review with final BIOS version with this board.

After doing a lot of research I'm getting this board. I'm hoping it will show up this week with the remaining parts of my new system build.

right on! :twisted:

Looks like an appealing mobo, but hell $350 bones for it is stretching it for a mobo. I'm kinda iffy about the MCP, but I do like the omission of that JMicron controller crap the most of the P965 uses.

Let us know how it turns out, hardly any reviews on it yet.

I paid $315 for mine.

Was hoping to get it all setup today, but ZipZoomFly was slow at processing my CPU order and now I will have everything but my CPU by this weekend... 🙁

i have ordered this board, the only downside i have seen is that when ocing the heatsinks on the chips get very hot and may need to have a fan installed over them.

Also the board does not allow you to oc as must as i expected but this just seems to be a bios thing that should be fixed with a new bios update

There's a Beta 06 bios out and it seems to be the best yet. I'm currently running my 3060 at 3Ghz and very stable.

That's the one used in Tom's Hardware Guide's Part 2 retest of the board:

Anyone care to recommend some great memory for this mob. I would like to populate to 4GB

Thanks

Tom's Hardware Guide did a comparison of sub-$250 2GB kits a few days ago.
