I used the LCD poster off my old ASUS board and it works find with this one. When I bought this board it did not come with the LCD Poster or besel, prehaps the besel would or should be offered. ![]() The layout of the board is good and I found no issues when hooking everything up. The Sound Card for onbaord card is first rate and the creative drivers work well to produce good sound in 2.1 and 5.1 sound. It will cold boot in windows 7 64 bit in 17 seconds and 19 seconds including log-in. The RAID 0 on this board with 2 hard drives gives about 150 to 180 mb/sec and I have it combined with a Corsair 60gb Accelerator Series SSD pulling about 200 to 280 mb/sec. I have been able to push fsb to nearly 500mhz but was not able to find 100% stable settings. I have 12:10 divide on DDR2-1066 RAM with about 8% overclock and all this is STABLE. I run this baby overclocked with a e8500 running 9.5 x 445 FSB or 4233mhz or 34 % overclocked on the CPU. It is better than RPOG earlier 775 boards (all of them) This is King of 775 boards that comes with awesome value and performance.

The Red and Blue Q connectors which come with the board aren't well constructed they are extremely loose, that's why I never use them, but the white Q connector is fine and offers a great connections thats why I always use, PLUS its great to connect all the connectors to and then plug it into the board. I Love motherboards like this one which has the ability to accept many many different types of CPU's which makes this board upgradeable well into the future, I just wish it was DDR3 memory But the DDR2 1200 MHz is pretty darn close, One very important aspect to keep in mind when installing DDR2 1066 Or DDR2 1200 one should install a Dual Core like Intel E8500 Or Quad Core like Intel Q9400 which are 1333 MHz, I Love the Sound Blaster Audio Card but what I really like is all the 3 wire fan pin headers which the board has.
