sorry 'bout that, I always read in flat mode, so I always get replies get a bit munged,
Funnily enough, the reason I got the Asus was because I grenaded my ECS K7VZA, it was great until that point, my wifes PC is still running great with one.
The reason it blew up was becuase I was adding a bigger heatsink/fan and the space between the cpu socket and those big capacitors that are real close by is a bit too close!
Of course with the age of that board, it meant getting a new mobo/cpu/fan and memory as well.
Hey, maybe I will be a bit more careful next time......
