put together my new pc last night, so far everything is working fantastic. Coming from an x2 dfi mb system it took a little bit to figure out gigabytes oc bios settings. Right now I am sitting at 3.2ghz stock volts and stock hsf, 32c idle 58c full load. I have not tried to go higher yet but it appears I can get more out of it still. very impressed with this system and with vista 64, runs very smooth so far.
