Pros: Excellent stability, great performance, feature rich, and includes SoundStorm support.

Cons: IGP/Memory overclocking issues

Bottom Line: The MSI K7N2G-ILSR proved to be an exceptional motherboard. The features alone make it one of the most attractive motherboards on the market. The board was very stable, and the performance was very good as well

Interesting read...but doesn't address the fact that there are only two fan headers on the board, enough for the CPU and the NorthBridge. No system fan stuff, even just monitoring.

i own this board, and the two fan header thing is really weird. one thing to know: do not use the integrated graphics and overclock the board past PC2700. they fried the IGP doing that. this board friggin' rocks--the only thing it is missing is the dual VGA and dual ethernet. it has PATA raid, SATA raid, tv-out, soundstorm, ethernet, firewire, 6 ports of USB 2.0, diag. LEDs.

So, how far can you o/c this board, with the IGP?

I saw the RAM stuff, but how high can you run the FSB and not fry the IGP? (Since you can clock the RAM seperately from the FSB)
