All in all a very good board everything works well with the exception of the firewire as I have nothing to test it with so can not tell. If you want to run a set of 5.1 surround sound speakers you will need to switch the center/subwoofer and rear left/right cables around as the ports seem to be reversed for them on the motherboard.
You can get a program called oguru at the Abit forum
here which allows you to monitor your sensors from the command line or if you want in Super Karamba. It will only compile with a gcc 3.4 or less and if you want to use as normal user then
chmod +s oguru will set the sticky bit and allow you to run the program suid. Here is a snippet of code that I use to get the temperatures of the CPU, System and PWM in Super Karamba you of course have to modify to your setup.
Code:
## Module: Temperature Sensors ##
<group> x=0 y=275 w=200 h=10
# CPU Temperature
text x=60 y=3 align="left" value="Processor:"
text x=165 y=3 align="right" sensor=program program="/usr/bin/oguru | grep 'CPU:' | awk '{print substr($2,1,2)}'" interval=2500
text x=180 y=3 align="right" value="°C"
# System Temperature
text x=60 y=17 align="left" value="System:"
text x=165 y=17 align="right" sensor=program program="/usr/bin/oguru | grep 'SYS:' | awk '{print substr($2,1,2)}'" interval=2550
text x=180 y=17 align="right" value="°C"
# PWM Temperature
text x=60 y=31 align="left" value="PWM:"
text x=165 y=31 align="right" sensor=program program="/usr/bin/oguru | grep 'PWM:' | awk '{print substr($2,1,2)}'" interval=2600
text x=180 y=31 align="right" value="°C"
</group>
