I had ordered another motherboard, so that was very unhappy and had sent it back, this here costs much less and is simply good. What bothers me a bit, if you put a pair of headphones into the front socket, then you should automatically go to the speaker, I can choose from Windows 7 only "sound" the default device, you can live with, otherwise would be nicer. Intel can super overclock the motherboard, the CPU has not needed, but nice if you can;).
