This mobo was a great great "Auto" overclocker, and the "Fine Tuning" was also great. With the upcoming Sandy Bridge CPUs this board will be difficult to sell. With the Core i7-930 getting a lot cheaper nowadays, it still might be an option to buy it in the near future.

Benchmarks:

Call of Juarez, ChristalDiskMark, Crysis SP Demo, DivX Converter, Far Cry 2, Lame, Lost Planet, Quake 4, Sisoft Sandra, TMPGEnc 4.0 Xpress, Videora IPod Converter.

Overclocking:

A stable overclock was reached @4.1GHz with a core i7 920, which became very hot. (70+ degrees Celsius)

Compared To:

ASUS P6T6 WS Revolution, MSI 890FXA-GD70, MSI Big Bang XPower, MSI P55-GD80.

Test Setup:

• CPU : Intel Core i7 920
• CPU Cooler : Custom made water cooling.
• Memory : 2GBx3 Patriot VIPER PVV34G2000LLK 2000MHz DDR3
