Would you recommend the product? yes | Price you paid? (in USD): $120.00 | Rating: 9

Kernel (uname -r): 2.6.35-28-generic
Distribution: ubuntu



With i3 540 CPU, I set the two overclock switches on the motherboard to 20% and the system booted fine. 4 hard drives, using onboard graphics, 500W power supply. dual monitors work fine with onboard graphics (1xHDMI, 1xVGA) under xrandr.

Only problem after one week (April 2011) is no sensors - neither lm-sensors nor GKrellM recognises the fan/temp/voltage sensors. BIOS readings seem correct, and i assume their windows utility works, but no kernel module yet.
