I've had no problems or hiccups with this board at all, Loaded with great features including Memtest86 within the bios as well as startup hardware monitoring before entering your OS
Basically purchased this for overclocking based on many reviews from websites as well as the positive feedback from NCIX customers, I've been running a q9550 at 3.6Ghz and still within thermal limits with an arctic cooling freezer 7 pro heatsink during prime95 testing and prolonged gaming sessions.

This is a wonderful motherboard to work with if you're on a budget and looking to overclock. Overclocking is a breeze provided you work your way around the bios which can use a little fine tuning/cleaning.

I have the TP45 HP version. If this is the same as mine but has Raid, then it should be a great board. It runs high FSB like a champ! Overclocking is easy on this board with the O.N.E. feature. Running my E8400 s 4.25ghz with ease on air!

Quite a few people have had a love/hate relationship with this board from the reviews I read. There's a couple of quirks of course- there's only 3 (Including the CPU) fan headers though liquid cooling it doesn't matter much to me.
This is a wonderful motherboard to work with if you're on a budget and looking to overclock. Overclocking is a breeze provided you work your way around the bios which can use a little fine tuning/cleaning.
Tested the board with a Q66 and passed with flying colors. The only problem was the temp of the Q66 when oc to 3.4ghz temps would start to skyrocket. Fsb achieved with the quad was 480fsb with a hefty boost to vnb/vtt at 1.5v ranges. 710 bios was a little bit more unstable than 626 and recovers from bad oc fairly bad. Never had to clear cmos with 626 and with this bios, a few bump in voltages here and there can stabilize the quad easily. The linking of the NB/SB voltage was probably the cause to the audio cutting on/off on this mb (not entirely sure) maybe my soundcard not compatible with this mb. Not too many garbage to disable when you want oc your setup. Hassle free from the extra bloatBuilt in Memtest ensures that your ram oc is 80% stable. Highly recommend this mb.

I used this motherboard for my first ever Intel build. However, this is not my first Biostar motherboard and I think that I'm slowly developing a loyalty to the brand. This particular motherboard is well laid out, its cooling system feels efficient and the BIOS config makes it really easy to overclock. All I had to do to get my e7200 to 3.6 GHz was to drop down the CPU multiplier to 9, raise the FSB to 400 MHz and put the memory frequency to 1000 MHz. I didn't even have to touch any of the voltage settings.
