With the price you paid who cares if it's an intel motherboard

Edit:
Wow it actually overclocks!

Ah forgot to list that one, it's a 1tb seagate drive. I am looking into a different mobo as my first attempt to OC resulted in 75 restarts because it would only post 1/5th of the time. This computer is so wicked fast stock, I can't imagine at 4ghz.
