Even cheaper is the TF7025-M2 board also at newegg, but no HDMI on board. Seems well reviewed also. Both the 7050 and 7025 are new, and apparently don't have too many issues. But you will have to dnld the latest nVidia forceware drivers... as usual.

I'm running the 7025 and the brisbane 3600+, overclocks very nicely. I've gotten it to do 2.6ghz with little effort (with 667 mhz memory, lol, I really should have gotten the pc6400, oh well). Just set memory timing to 533, up the voltage like... 2 ticks from default, and it ran stable at 2.6ghz on stock cooling (cooler never felt hot, probably could have gone higher on stock) for about 5 hours before I got bored of running prime95 twice in the background while surfing the internet and playing mp3's 😛


The TF7025 definitely gets my vote for simple design, as this is the first overclock I've ever done. (old motherboard was intel , lol, can you say locked tighter than a chastity belt? 😛)

Just about to push the button my self. Just waiting to see what Mothership Intel will do in a week or so. I've been on that pairing (TF7025/Brisbane) for a few weeks looking at reviews.

LOTSA bang for the $. Finally a uATX that o/c well, will wonders ever cease? and AMD gets it first. Intel gets it next quarter.
