*laughs!!!!* MMmmm, definitely sage advice...

"Other Thoughts: Don't plug the USB in to the IEEE port on the board by accident. You'll blow a capacitor and end up having to RMA the board. Also, you'll start a small electrical fire. This is all from experience. :-)"
*giggles* Ya think? ;)

Yes, I see a few very bad reviews, but it all seems to come back to the ASRock's default voltage problem with the board. Even Tomshardware reported this issue and said to under charge your RAM in the BIOS to correct the problem. When that's fixed, the board is reported to run flawlessly. And now that I know that, I shouldn't have any significant issues making it sing like a castrato. Unless of course I put the plugs in the back in incorrectly. ;)
