Hmm I wonder if it add more stability to system, but maybe that's only Windows fault. I maybe try it.

I must say, those who own this board with unlockable cpu's, flash Bios 0705. Was able to obtain the same clocks locked to x2 on the same bios as unlocked to x4.

This board is solid and would definitely recommend it to others who are ready to build off AM3+.

Guys, I've always forgotten to ask this. Where I can set USB 2 power options?
The thing is, that on my old system, I was able to charge my MP4 player when my PC was off. But now I can't. The only setting in BIOS is for USB 3.0, which I didn't tried. Can I plug my old USB cable in 3.0? And will it work on old player? But still, there are only 2 of 3.0 at back.
And also I have my wheel connected to the PC. But because of this, it always resets and then I have to re-calibrate it every time.
