If you're looking at the 720 might as well. The mobo alone usually costs as much as the whole combo.

OMG. Must not buy.... That is a scary good deal.
This is a great deal for a setup like this. That mobo has combo deals with more of the PhII CPUs than just the 720BE.
Fair warning to all - The mobo does NOT come with a XFire bridge, and it must be purchased separately. Also, XFire is with the top and bottom PCI-E slots, so it takes a very long bridge.
Apart from that, the mobo is a tweaker's delight.
Can u unlock 4th core with this mobo?

Edit: UPS, a MILE FOR ME.

I think you should be able to but I can't confirm. Check out this thread for mobos that for sure can.

Just bought this combo today!! It's a heck of a deal!!
Yea........but will it fold?

Anyone folding with four slots populated on this board?

Any reason why it would not?

The short answer is no. My board came with bios P06 and ACC would cause it to lockup. I had to reset the bios after this to restore operation. I installed bios P07 and ACC works now, but the forth core is still unavailable. Also ACC causes lockups when over clocking at high overclocks. Other then this the board is nice and stable. It has many features and was a bargin.
