flashpanther is correct like the blitz the se always was a limited edition, from what i've seen and i think clunk will gree the board was not of the same performance leagueas the blitz, or even the p5k deluxe.(premium)
The abit is now performing pretty well i'm just watchiing a 16hr prime on 450x8 so have now covered both my 24/7 (9x400 12hrs Prime) Will post settings etcshortly in my thread. So performance wise there is little lacking. I've bettered the gigabyte x38 dq6.
It would be nice to get a 1.33 strap & a little beter memory conntroller but it's early days.
I understand the issue with the non standard NB and watercooling, it is a pain.
luck
