I've had this board now for about 9 months. I got it as a combo with an amd 64x2 3800 and a 7600 gs vid card, 2gigs ultra ddr2 667 and a xion case(replaced the 450watt psu for a 600 watt) It was my first build in years. Wanted to make a cheap gamer. The oc for the cpu works very easily to 2.32 up from stock 2.0, and maxed the voltage for stability. Got the masscool cpu heatsink/fan along with all other parts from Tiger. Still runs strong, no problems with anything, as with any board, update your drivers. Runs great for Unreal Tournament 3 gives me 60fps on medium setting.

Bought this Mobo with x2 4200 CPU and it seemed to work mostly fine until one day it started to locked up. The lock ups got worse, until one day I could not get it to POST. I don't connect this computer to the internet and all programs are scanned before installation. So, unable to get it to start again I called up Biostar tech support and they replaced the board. Put things back together and switched her back on. It kept locking up or rebooting for no reason, tho' the non-overclocked CPU stayed cool. Updated all the drivers and bios and to this day it still locks up. I removed the seemingly problematic Audigy 2 sound card and that seemed to help for a while, but now it has again started to lock up during seemingly simple commands. I'm giving up and going to an ECS or ASUS board.
