Have you tried overclocking that mobo? I was thinking of that one along with the BD7II RAID and the EPoX EP-4G4A+. Some people say ABIT mobos have a 60% malfunction rate!!??

[JackFrost]

No, haven't tried to overclock it. But, Im very happy thus far w/ the board.

If you ever get around to it, please PM me.

I would not recommend overclocking. It voids the warranty for every part in the system.
I'm interning at a local computer shop (as a tech). I was told that they have a 75% failure rate. So much that the store won't carry any ABIT brand motherboards anymore.

 

[chuck232]

Yeah, seems like ABIT's not having too much luck eh?
