What do you guys think/know about this motherboard?

I'd of course swap the NB fan for a passive Zalman, but I'm curious if anyone knows anything about this board.

GREAT BOARD! I have it in my rig right now with the Zalman passive HSF. I have zero problems what so ever, except that sometimes I get a black screen after the full screen bios logo, but turn that off and there are no issues what so ever.

Running 280x10 on my venice and have taken it all the way up to 3007 on air with my venice.

Thanks for the input.

I really like the layout of the board, which is the main reason I want it.

My current board layout is one of the worst I've seen, and I only realised how bad it was AFTER I got it all set up.

I think the new board will provide better cooling for my vid card, because atm my 7800gtx is in the bottom PCIe slot so I can use passive cooling on the NB. The card being in that slot leaves next to NO space between the card and the bottom of the case for cool air to get at it.

One more thing.

I've done some searches, and besides the usual unhappy customer here and there, I can't find too much info about this board.

Are there any peculiarities/funky issues I might come across during setup that you could give me the edge on or what everything easy and smooth?

Thanks again.

Besides the BIOS spash screen logo tat I have already mentioned, no I cant think of anything. The temp sensors arent as calibrated as my dfi ultra-d's, they have the same idle/load range, but the infinity has them 5c cooler.
