I have my eye on this board. It looks gorgeous and has good reviews. How good is it for overclocking?

its a great board, especially for the money. It overclocks as good as every other good 790FX board does, There really isn't a margin between 790FX overclocking, as they all seem to do about the same, the thing is, this board is not too expensive and has 4 pci-e x16/8 slots (2 full x16 for xfire) so if that is what you are aiming for then you wont be disappointed.

Great board! Bought mine about 10 days ago and loving it! It has a few little quirks but you just have to 'get to know it'
