good god this board looks AWESOME! the LED lights at the slots are nifty! so are the CMOS reset, etc. buttons instead of jumpers...placed in convenient positions too!

now if only it was on 16 phase power instead of 8 phase

To put it crudely, that is akin to a 16 inch dick half an inch thick, versus one that is 8 inches by an inch big.

If they gave me 320A current capability with just one phase, versus 32 phases that puts out just a 100A, I'd pick the former anytime. Simple math.

Pleasure theory, too.
