Review Title: Hmm
Verdict: Very simple to build, posted into windows first time it was turned on. Southbridge gets stinking hot, I mean really hot.
I brought this to future proof, ddr3, pci-e 2.0 etc. P5K won't fully support new pci-e 2.0 which is of serious importance to me. Only real compliant is that the ram is underclocked as standard and I don't know why, you can change it, but why the wrong default. I even ran the bench marks on the first boot and got a flat 900 across the board which isn't too bad missing drivers etc. Used a 3ghz core 2 and raptor 74gb. Biggest dissapointment is that it doesn't give much of a performance gain over my old A8N SLI deluxe. Make's it poor value indeed. I'm sure more time will allow me to refine it, but not the powerhouse I had hoped for.
