Nevar heard of it. Any thoughts? Prior experiences? Blown out of your mind?

Erm...that's a board that was recently released to be used in conjunction with the new Intel Core i7 CPUs. You've always been able to overclock by changing a few settings in your BIOS. The ASUS Rampage II also has a special feature that allows you to possibly unlock the safety feature on the Core i7 that prevents you from overclocking past a certain point. It's a great board for an enthusiast. I'm planning to get the EVGA board though....simply because I can't really afford a motherboard that costs more than a Core i7 920(the CPU I'm getting). :/

thats the mobo im getting when i get cash and im gunna take a core i7 920 to 4GHz stable 
and then i will be uber uber happy with that cause ppl have got it to like 5.5GHz with the new 920 i think

Hardware based overclocking, with all the little knobs and even a CMOS clear button. Very useful for those hardcore overclockers, was also used to break the world record for i7 overclocking (I think it was 5.5Ghz?)

There has always been two ways to overclock, one way using computerised OCing (Bios), which digitally stores the information and hardware based, which stores the voltages in the hardware itself. The way you are looking at allows you to change the core voltage. You can also do this in the bios, but as stated this is an enthusate board and allows you to do it both ways.

if your gonna get that board be careful, they dont tell you but it is 1" bigger than a standard atx board but not quite as big as eATX. make sure you take a look at that before you buy

you can fine tune WHILE you system is running benchmars, stability tests,.....
