Had a lot of trouble with it at first. 1.8 Willy was not oc'ing. Badly implemented bios, memory ratio was hosed (same b/w for all ratio settings) and vcore voltage didn't work very well, could not get up to 1.85v even though it was in the bios setting. After a couple of bios revs chip would only go to 2.2 at best (safe mode) after vidpinning. After the 4th or 5th bios revision I could only get it to 2.0 but at least they fixed the voltage and memory badwidth issue.

As you can see, I had to go to a 1.6A to realize any kind of a decent overclock. My confidence in the board and it's poor bios history does not instill much confidence in it. For a $150 board I expected better. One other annoyance was that it will not even load my PCI Promise Fastrak RAID bios so I couldn't just bring my RAID set-up (board & drives) from previous BE6-2 setup, I had to use onboard RAID and start from scratch.
