I just finished install this board with a 1.6a. Been running for about 3 days now. Pretty stable at 145x16. Able to run 3dMarks 2001 SE benchmark without problem. Prime95 runs for about 5-6 hours and then get an XP error message saying it needs to shut down prime95. I am still trying to figure out what fsb is 100% stable. The BIOS have issues as well. Can't change the vcore and the temp is really weird. Temp in BIOS always at 46c, SmartGuardian always at 51-52c, MBM5 shows three temp sensors and the first always at 76-77c, the second always around 34-35c, and the third would start at 22c and goes up as high as 79c and goes back to 22c and slow goes back to 79c. One other thing that I tought was false advertising is the SPDIF/Optical out! It only works with 2 speakers setup or headphone! I tried hooking this up with my Yamaha RX-V2095 receiver and it always uses pro-logic not dolby digital. So the sound out is pretty much useless to me because I am setting this up for a Home Theater PC. End up having to put in a Santa Cruz card.
