I'm really loving this board, and only have a couple of problems with it.

1. The voltage controls don't show the actual voltages. They just have "+50mV" intervals. It doesn't effect performance in any way, I just don't like doing the math myself.

2. The CPU temperature reading in the BIOS will always show 40C if the temp is at or below 40C. Anything over 40C, it will show the actual temp. I was in contact with Foxconn tech support about this issue for a while, and they sent me a test BIOS which fixed this issue. This BIOS is not on their official site, but I have had no problems with it. All temps in the BIOS are now correct. Attached is the BIOS for everyone with a A7DA-S board that wants this problem fixed:

I'll post some picks and stuff later

Mine always seems hot, but I haven't had any problems from it so far. It might cause some problems if you use the onboard video, but you can always use a spot fan to cool it off.

Another small, but annoying quirk I have noticed with this board is that if you change anything other than CPU-related settings in the BIOS (voltage, multiplier, etc) and save, the system shuts down instead of rebooting. Not a big deal but I have to manually turn the machine back on...
