i love my maximus formula nothing overated about it, comes with a full version of 3d mark06 which is good, and kasperky anti virus, preaty much the best antivirus you can get, aslo comes with stalker, the onboard sound is amazing the supreme fx 2 is better then an audigy 4 i tried. and ive nevr over clocked so easaly, the auto detection for your voltages actually work, i left it on auto, and it bumps it up as needed. i checked cpuz, it says im at 1.4v right now. so all you have to do for over clocking is set ram speed timings, i set my ram voltage manually tho, and your fsb speed, and you will have the over clock you need, if your idle temps are to high the mobo wont boot, as it knows its allready unstablethe highest it will boot for idle temps is 55c anything above it wont boot. i could go on and on about how great this board is all i can say is buy it and find out for yourself.
yeah maximus is an amazing board, you wont regret buying it if you do decide to get it. The stacker 830 is also an amazing case, i love it and couldnt imagine using another case.
