You seem as a real asshole, why did you buy the thing if you read the reviews and knew there was a problem with the BIOS overclocking?
I'm glad you had to pay for the shipping costs, you RMA a fully functional board just because it has some issues with overclocking, well that would make you look like the tard here.
First of, learn how to spell.
Secondly, there is absoloutely nothing wrong with ECS motherboards they have in years been making good motherboards for both gaming and power users so please be quiet.
Please learn how to spell.
Their performance is much better than many great Asus and Gigabyte P965 and P35 series motherboards.
I've had this motherboard for since it came out in 2006, still using it and it have survived on both gaming and vista in high definition video as well, it's a perfect motherboard.
Good HD sound as well.
It hasn't died a bit, it's been in perfect condition ever since I got it, and it's been working P-E-R-F-E-C-T there is nothing better or worse about Asus or Gigabyte that you can't find on this motherboard.
Beside that Nforce motherboards are better for SLI, this motherboard could also handle 2 cards but one in 16x and one in 4x format and the thing about overclocking >
This motherboard could overclock,
it can handle an overclock it's just that there were some slight bugs on the original BIOS that didn't save the memory settings.
Everything else works fine, with the updated BIOS you don't have the USB mouse problem anymore either, this thing works as I said really nice with Vista and Crysis as well.
It's a really stable board worth all the cash you spend on it, built upon the ICH8 chipset as well, more than I could say for some other cheap boards out there.
It's** happy not sad, at least it smiles for me, maybe you're just too ugly to get on it's bright side.
Never
ever crashed on this thing a bit not at all, but I have on Asus and Gigabyte motherboards.
I use PS/2 mouse because the only crash problem is around USB-mouse so since I knew about this problem I have never needed to crash.
Always use the newest BIOS on all your motherboards, there are always new fixes.
This is my 2 cents as well.
