I have this board too .. Currently run E6600@3500MHz with OCZ PC2-6400 RAM Gold kit .... This board would give plenty of room to overclock (depends on CPU/RAM) ... however, it is a WEIRD board.

OCed it to 3600MHz, it passed Orthor for 30+hrs ... passed all benchies (3DMark01,03,05,06, PCMark05 .... Dual Prime95 for 8+hrs .....) ... Rebooted system .... it failed Orthor after 59seconds :shock: :shock:

NB is so freaking hot .. with stock heatsink ... If need to oc over 3GHz, should replace with a better one.

Vdroop is another issue ..... it's really bad... So, a pencil vdroop mod is really help (simple and easy).

Anyway, it's cheap board .. what else can we expect? :mrgreen:
