Great mobo
Got this with a 550 black edition with 4 cores unlocked, wicked fast motherboard.Overclocking options are good, could not be more happy with this!Great Ebuyer service as well, bought on 5 days super saver and received next day!!!!!Amazing mobo,thanks Ebuyer!!!
Great features
operating system:
Windows 7Bought this Motherboard after reading rave reviews in a PC magazine.
Using a Phenom II 955 BE prosessor with 2 X 2GB Ripjaw RAM.
This mobo is fully featured and you couldn't ask for much more in terms of functionality (built in graphics wasn't of use to me)
The BIOS system is easy to navigate even though I'm only used to Asus motherboards.
I was easily able to set the BIOS to overclock the Phenom II 955 within minutes, however, when the board locked up and continually failed to POST to the point where I had to reset the CMOS having to undo the case and get in there with a screw driver and short out the CMOS jumper switch was disappointing.
Point to note, when in Windows OS using certain programs (3Dmark06) these programs can RESET your BIOS settings to stock speeds which was a shock.
If you intend using AMD's Overdrive program use caution when trying to push the board using an OS based utility ... you may find you're inside the case with the screwdriver more often than you anticipated.
Overall there isn't much missing, the Crossfire support is good with full speed (2 X 16 lanes) PCI-e, the quality of manufacture is very high and the accessories are useful, there's plenty of space around the CPU for a sizeable heatsink combination.
In terms of value if you're on a budget this is overkill, if you were looking at buying a new PC system including CPU, RAM and motherboard this wouldn't be the best performance per £ you could get. If however you already have a modern Phenom II processor on a AM2/AM2+ board and want to provide some future proofing this is a really good board. You will need DDR3 RAM.
