It's okay, not great.
It only has 5 chokes for the CPU/NB
It's enough to get a decent overclock, but it will be limiting if you want to get the absolute most you can
This board is pretty good if you want to push things hard:
Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-890XA-UD3 AM3 AMD 790X SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
How many chokes does that Gigabyte have?
I'm at 3.64ghz 1.432v currently with Turbo Core off. It seems fine so far but I'll know for sure once I run LinX. I'm kind of scared to even try. If I can't get it stable at 3.64 I'm just going to leave everything at stock and wait for a new motherboard.
I kind of want to get a motherboard with DDR2 slots because I just got this DDR2 memory in, and I'd hate to have to sell it.
EDIT: I said I'm scared to try but the temps are fine (~40c load), and if something breaks it's not likely to be the CPU. Although I just spend $200 for this processor and I would really hate to screw it up.
I'm pretty sure that if anything decides to fail it's going to be this motherboard for me having demanded so much from it.
EDIT: It failed again. *click* off.
I'll just leave it at stock for now and get a new motherboard. How frustrating!
I have to say though, for someone that doesn't want to overclock, or doesn't want to push it far. This motherboard is absolutely worth the $55 I paid for it. (that's including shipping, new)
Get what ya pay for
This board does everything you need it to.....except overclock...
