I was going to pull the trigger on that one, but someone was saying it had compatibility (temp reporting) issues?

Same thing here..just got a deal on a Pro for 120 shipped🙂 I'll let you know how it works out!

All motherboards supporting the new 45nm CPUs are having temp problems, and will continue to until developers start pushing out updated BIOS's.

its what im suing now and yea the motherboard reports the temps wrong but coretemmp and everest get temperature directly from the probes on the cpu itself so those are accurate. trust me you wont be sorry. can do 4ghz easy on air! also ABIT is working on the new ver 16 bios as we speak. they already have some beta bios' out. the latest i am using right now can be found HERE and a tutorial on how to flash it can be found HERE. pretty much a master thread that includes mods, updates, and overclock results can be found HERE!. there are a couple of mods out for it to including a vdroop mod, heatsink mod, and some others.
