It’s so designed for overclocking it wouldn’t run stable until I OCed the CPU. Like others, I found that the auto settings in the bios are very unstable, in my case, because many of the voltage settings were WAY too high. I found that you didn’t have to manually set them all; simply use the CPU level up to step your CPU up a notch, and oddly, it lowered the voltage settings on almost every component automatically. I was tempted to give this board a 4 because it really should do a better job on auto (yes I know it’s and enthusiast board, but that’s beside the point), but it’s got too much else going for it.
Otherwise, this is a stupendously well crafted product with nice little extras everywhere (the lit rear panel for example). Is it worth the money…well that’s subjective, but it is, hands down, the most well crafted, designed, and comprehensive MB I’ve ever seen.
