Be aware that this board will not overclock even to the tiniest degree. I have a Q6600 in it that has been running rock solid and cool in a now faulty MSI P35 Neo2 FR board for a very long time at over 3GHz. Nothing will allow the processor to work above stock settings, any attempt to do so leads to boot failure. I have been overclocking for many years and am not a novice, I have tried everything but it just won't budge. The few Internet threads on the board come up with the same experience.
So if you are looking for a cheaper alternative for the GA-EP45-UD3 boards which are getting a good rep for overclocking (but aren't available from Scan) this is not a good choice. Otherwise the board is solid and would be good for a general purpose PC.
