$189 isn't bad at all for a beast of a motherboard in a Micro ATX, especially when you can hit 5.7GHz

Thanks for the review Jim.
I have this board and have to say that it is just Sooooo capable and at the same time very forgiving
The more time that you spend with it the more it rewards with overclocks and voltages
I would say that anyone wanting a top performing Rig that does not need more pci-e slots should consider this one.... in fact don't just consider it..... BUY IT!!
