    Great board! Using it with Phenom II X4 940BE overclocked to 3.61Ghz at 1.450v and under load it never registered at more than 1.440v - with my previous MSI board to get the same speed/stability, I had to give the CPU 1.550v - also resulting in higher temps. (all components the same in both builds). Quite happy about this. The board just feels solid and so far I have no problems with it whatsoever - the BIOS is a blast to work with! I got revision 1.2 btw - also nothing to complain about!

    first off its the 2.0 ver which is alot better! its p4/p8 yes p8 is at the same spot, but oh well, good if your using a short cable bottom mounted PS.

    notes on the board, p8 is rotated 90 degrees, ide cable is sideways which is alot betetr for cable mangment, doesn stick out. usb though in the same spot have a shield around (same as firewire) so cant bent pins that easy, satas and usb r light blue

    this has a 750sb (said in cpu-z) and does have the acc.

    this thing though the cheapest full atx board thats am3, its great for overclocking! im using the amd athlon 250. i overclocked the fsb to 250. the cpu hummed along at 3.5ghz at stock voltage and had 39 degree temps in a 24c room. stressed tested for over 7 hours before i stopped it as i had to go to work. with the smallest increas of .025v (it goes by .025v) it lasted 7 hours at 3.7ghz, ramdom restart (was a storm, power might have gone out, did a few times at my house)

    great board, i cant believe they were upset with the ADDED features!

    note: p4 and p8 power cables work

    Contrary to what the other reviewer has said, it's great that DC is shipping rev 2. This new revision has an SB710, which supports ACC for unlocking additional cores on Phenom II X2 and X3 processors. The power supply connector is backwards compatible with 4-pin connectors.
