With only air cooling, we were able to reach a stable 4.1 GHz overclock with a Core i7 920.

The memory performance is excellent, and I really like the LED2 on the motherboard along with the switches for power, reset and LED information. The dip switches for overclocking did not turn out to be useful, but they don't hurt in any case. The inclusion of a Creative Labs X-Fi sound card is in my opinion far superior to using a "standard" audio codec - the board just feels, looks and behaves like a quality board.
