I got mine 1 last 2 weeks ago but haven fully tested it because it has some problem with my kingston pc4300 (hynix ct-d43)
for those who using hynix BT or CT D43, do you find any problem with this board because I cannot raise the ram fsb more than 200?

anyway, just post some pic to attract you more... lol

I heard from a couple of forumer that they managed to do that with the A03 board. I'm not sure how truw is that. BTW, getting the bridge is a problem.

I read elsewhere if you are brave enough, you can scrape off the enamel they used to cover the 2 points. All you have to do then is connect the bridges with some conductive material e.g. conductive pen.

Do at your own risk though. Looks like its very easy to scrape too much off shocking.gif

i'll give it a try soon. wish me luck.
