    Good Points: Able to set overclocking profile from within Windows
    Automatic fan speed controller


    Bad Points: Manual poor in some parts. Difficult to load operating system.
    Problems with sound.
    Problems with system reset.


    General comments: When the system does a reset the bios locks up after doing the memory test often with a false report that the cpu fan has stopped. To get round this the cpu fan speed checking has to be disabled.

    There are twittering noises on the sound, including a pulse every second, noises when apps are loading or the screen is scrolled and a beep sound when windows are maximised or minimised. To eliminate these the record input device must be set to "stereo mix". I suspect a hardware design problem here!

    The onboard sound makes twittering noises, a pulse every second and when applications are working or the screen is scrolled. Also a beeping noise when windows are minimised / maximised. This can be stopped by switching the record input device to "stereo mix".
    If the bios is set to check the cpu fan speed there is often a problem when a system reset is performed. The bios locks up after the memory check, sometimes falsely reporting that the cpu fan has stopped.
