My Newer CM storm trigger with brown switches y need a second keyboard to get in.

Stable and decent overclocks.
Can't complain about that.
"One thing I don't like about this board is the lack of manual phase control options. You can't actually control this other than to set control to disabled or automatic" end quote from article...
