In my case it was possible to use them at lower voltage. I currently have 2x OCZ Platinum XTC 1066 4GB Kit with nominal settings of CL5-5-5-18@2,1V@1066. And I operate them as I wrote before. However, it isn't guaranteed that any 1066 RAM can do that, but I'd say it is rather likely. It also depends on the latency settings to a degree.

@nirianto: So does the Biostar overclock better then our beloved Foxi? Man, you gonna miss that freakin color scheme :P

@kickloch, FYI the biostar has a pretty bright color scheme too
I haven't had the time to play around with it but i was able to unlock 4th core at stock which makes me happy. I will update on how this board is performing. I am going to see if I can reach 3.8ghz with this board or not. I can only reach 3.75 with Foxi.

I'm glad to hear that, however I'm sure it cannot match the greatness of the A79A-S. Nor can any other board

That's pretty cool. I assume by simply activating Advanced clock calibration. That's a week spot of the Foxi, but I have a full quad core anyway, so I can live with(out) that.

Sorry not wrong answer. The New Phenom II X2's are AM3 only and will not work in this board. Look at the Specs for the X2

I know the X3 720 works with this board because I have one and this CPU is Socket AM2+ / AM3. The NEW PHENOM II X2's are AM3 ONLY. So therefore an AM3 CPU will not work in this board.
