YAY I wasn't sure if 7000Bs fit on socket 775. But that looks like a helluva nice setup, just I'm not liking the color of the mobo there Much too plain.

As it spends 99% of the time closed (without a glass window), I don't mind it at all. I just care about turning on the computer & have it start without problems & stability of course. :-)

But I'd imagine that an Intel motherboard wouldn't support overclocking



But how cool does that 7000B keep a Core 2? I have the Alcu version which I know will be a few degrees worse than the cu but...

No, it doesn't support overclocking at all but I don't mind. The CPU runs around 43°C at load, around 37/38°C when idle (which is rare).

GORGEOUS cable management. I almost wish I could see behind the hard drive rack to see how you have things tucked in.

But WHY would you buy an Intel motherboard when there are so many 3rd party companies that make amazing ones with tons of features?

Because I have no need for 350 features I will never use. I want stability & this board gives just that.

Your outlook on this is almost zen-like. In my case, it may not benefit me to mess up my hardware with my mobo's gazillion features, it's just something I'm addicted to doing.



Beautiful cable management BTW.

What's with the barren dotted part of the mobo in the bottom-right corner?(Extra space?) GR8 CABLE MANAGEMENT!!! Like the (almost) matching Zalman fans. You must have taken a month of sundays to perfect that cable management (or a weekend )
