I have the msi neo2 platnum and I just got this Abit AV8 to compare to. Anyone heard any issues or praises for the AV8? Thanks for the info.

Well I'm running an AV8 and it's been okay to me as I've been figuring out its quirks and what one needs to do when overclocking a s939 system. A lot of people are getting stuck on post errors though. The board is picky about PSUs, CPUs, and to a lesser extent memory. Here are the boards quirks:
- If you have a Winchester core CPU you MUST be running bios 15 (the latest) or your board will not POST (error code 90).
- These boards dislikes some Antec PSUs. If you are running an Antec PSU you may get cyclical reboots.
- This board is stubborn about running 4 DIMMS. With 4 DIMMs installed it may not POST or it may freeze on the POST screen.
- You MUST have your CPU fan plugged into the board for at least your first post since the BIOS low RPM protection is on by default for the CPU fan (this problem produces the 9F error).
