Has anyone had unusually good or bad experiences with the ECS K7VTA3
version 8.0C? What are its pros and cons in terms of both overclocking and
durability? Thanks, sdlomi

I could not make 1 even booting up despite all the tricks & tips
giving on internet (just googling with K7VTA3 word) and I have seen so
many K7VTA3 returned to Frys with the same problem so I called it
quit. This is a brand new board, not a returned one, and upon closely
inspection before installing the CPU & the fan, I already noticed
there are deep scratches crossed the CPU socket area, the fan hinge
notches. Quality is not a job one there.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
