Cool Review!

This is the board in my new HotHardware/Cyberpower Rig

I am getting used to all the features and how to set them up! I am unfamiliar with this whole overclocking thing to begin with. Like the review said, I have run into instability issues if I go above certain Hurts:P

I have all the BIOs settings set to auto. When I run the Turbo V, and the EVO6, it then turns into a balancing act. It seems to go crazy if the settings get to high. You tend to have to keep adjusting until it goes wrong, then go back and set those to what worked right before the shutdown. The Auto tune feature seems to work on a lower end, if you let it go to long, it then starts to crash the system. There never seems to be a problem of getting it back, that is a good sign!

once I have things set to Turbo, I have noticed that things like HD video plays Alot smoother! The Viewports in Max are smoother as well. Yet with the 8800, it becomes difficult to know what to attribute to the board or the GPU. The whole system is a whole lot faster with DDR3 and with this awesome board it is hard to tell because everything is working faster and more stable than before!

I'll let you know if I figure out this Overclocking thing! Since I am supposed to be able to do it with the GPU, CPU, RAM, and MoBo. The layout is really nice and it definitely deserves its Pro name!

Either way,...I am Loving it! Thanks Dave
