I personally don't have the board, but a friend does and he loves it. He games alot and says it runs flawlessly.
By the way, welcome to the forum.

I've been asking pretty much the same questions, comparing this board to the IWILL KA266R. The response that I have gotten is the EP-8K7A+ is the board to go with. From what I'm told, it's stable, and overclocks really well.

Highpoint raid controller, yes 8 ide, best overclocker out there I think..(high volatage w/o mod, 1/5 and 1/6 pci dividor, 250 FSB, amd FAST chpset)...I'd go with the 8k7a+
