I'm building a second system and I am wondering how people like thier IS7 MB. I own an IC7 and like it alot but I need to save a little money and I'm thinking of going with the IS7. I would appreciate any info.

This should be posted in the MB forum. There is a huge sticky there about this board were there is plenty of info on it.

Awesome. I am passing benches at 280. Meaning 2.4 @ 3.36 GHz on 1.55V. System about 30C, CPU 40-44C, air cooled with copper Zalman 7000. I can boot Windows at 285 but benchmarks are crashing. And it doesn't matter what voltage I set on CPU meaning that it is either the ceiling for CPU or possible weak power supply since I am using Enermax 365 which was quite a surprise to me. I could not use that power supply on Epox 8K3A+.

How much better you want? I noticed that the system goes higher on 5:4 than on 3:2 which is weird.
The only thing I do not like is that the top voltage I can set to memory is 2.8V. The memory I have, GEIL PC 3500 UP can take higher but without hard modding the motherboard 2.8V is the max.

Love it. 2.6C @ 3.25GHZ without a sweat on budget Crucial PC3200 512mb x 2.

I don't overclock, so I can't speak to its potential there.... But I think it is a fantastic motherboard.

Thanks I am even more happy about the purchase, it should be great for my second system.
