I'm a n00b to overclocking and I'm trying to be as cautious as I can. Also, this is my first on these forums. Hi everyone

Anyways, i'm hoping to build my first computer in the near future. I fairly tech-savvy and i'm taching a computer tech class right now so the actual building and most of the component selection shouldn't be much of a problem. I'll probably not overclock initially but i want to leave that option for later. The P965-DS3 has been reccomended to me on a few occasions. My question is, is this a decent board for an overclocking noobie? I don't need insane speeds or anything just ease of use and hopefully reliability.
After the flash to F7, the videocard fan spins at top speed all the time. Is this a known issue? I am having NO problems with video/gaming at all.
