I own this board . you said it was a see saw battle. i beg to differ. i bought this board almost 3 months ago. This board has better overclocking . you wouldnt know that because you tested two crapy cpus at 2.6 ghz. with this board overclocked 100 more mhz then my last board which was only 3 months old. i was able to hit a perfect 3.5 ghz on my athlon
