It's an ok board, the manual is pretty poorly written and was just plain wrong about at least one thing. It said that if you have only 1 video card that you have to put the dummy card in the 'slave' PCI-E slot. If I put the dummy card in, it won't POST. If I just leave it out it works fine.
I've been having some problems with system instability at stock speeds and I think I'm getting some kind of data corruption on my RAID 0 array, forcing me to run CHKDSK almost everytime I reboot but I'm not ready to blame that on the RAID controller yet. There's a possibilty it's bad memory or maybe even a rootkit even though this install is only 2 weeks old.
As far as OCing, I tried to use the bundled uguru utility to OC to 216 X 9 and got an instant crash when I started BF2. That's about as far as I got with it because then I started having all kinds of other problems.
What RAM timings are you using and what's the specs for your RAM?
