I hope they release it for both PC and consoles, rather than Microsofts way of releasing the PC version 2 years after the console version.

Great job with the review. I appreciate the tremondous amount of time that would have gone into this review. I hope that it is continuously updated. I vote for a sticky.

This motherboard may accept DDR2 1066. I was tinkering around with the memory timings and set the ratio to 1:1 and it showed the memory frequency as 1066. Obviously, since I did not have DDR2 1066, I did not try it... Who knows.....

Not sure where this should go, but here is an interesting combo I found on Newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductCombos.aspx?Item=N82E16813151047&SubCategory=302&SortField=0&PageSize=10&page=1 TYAN S2915WA2NRF Dual Socket 1207 NVIDIA nForce Professional 3600 + 3050 Extended ATX...

Since search function is not working, I was wondering what your current North Bridge (system?) temperatures are with the default heatsink, if you do not have a fan on it?

Not very long, since I just started owning a computer recently. But all my upgrades were quite steep upgrades. Intel 815 onboard graphics Geforce FX 5200 (crappy but cheap) Geforce 6600GT 8800GTS 320MB

Good post - for a sticky. I tried this a while back and it worked. Just one question, will I be able to access the hard-disk partitions if I boot through the USB key?

Wouldn't having the product page of the motherboard be better. I know that there are thousands of motherboards out there, but it would be a one-stop shop.

One suggestion before going and flashing the BIOS is to test your overclock (or underclock) in Ntune and then stress test (play a graphics intensive game) to make sure that your overclock would work. If you are satisfied with it, go ahead and flash the new clock speeds. Also, for those trying...

Wrong thread....

To those who have the system up and running, what temperatures are you getting. My E6600, stock, idle (@2.4Ghz) reports 32C, The System temperature (I am assuming its the North bridge) reports 37-40C when idle. Has anybody used Speedfan with this motherboard? I got it to recognize the...

Did you try upping the RAM voltage a bit? (0.1-0.2 volts)?

Yes - the NB gets pretty hot (approaches 40C while idle). You must ensure that the CPU cooling also ventilates the NB cooler.

Quick question - does it have a 4 phase or 6 phase power for the CPU?

Thanks. Now I know what and how much I can push the board to.
