no probs. sad to see threads get ignored because no one clicks them

I'm also sad they didnt review my UD5 in the comparison.

I was originally going for the crosshair but just couldn't justify the price of the extra features i'd never use after I saw the asrock.

i agree with ya. i just want a rock solid board with some nice features to last a long time.i'm not a hardcore oc'er. just a modest bump here n there. :cool:

as strange as it may sound, same.

Yes, i would like to OC to sane levels (since this chip is 3.6Ghz stock in turbo mode, 3.8Ghz is hardly a massive OC) - but do it STABLE, without any weird issues or problems (like randomly clearing its CMOS, or not booting with 4 memory sticks like my P35 and x48 boards)

i've had issues with every brand over the years

i find its more certain chipsets/specific boards that have issues, and not the brands.

NAVI_Z · Aug 11, 2010

rite now i'm on a 790gx asus board oc'ed @ 4gigz 24/7 fully stable. :rockout:
