I've had 4 of those K7S5As they're disposibly cheap. 1 died because of my sister blocking all the ventilation on her machine. Another died, dunno why, friend gave it to me. Still have one going right now with an 1800+ in it, and a K7S5A Pro (more or less the same) with a 2800+ in it. They're decent, and with a BIOS upgrade apparently I can overclock with them. Never tried though. Just use them as DC nodes.
On the topic of overclocking, I was thinking of trying to overclock my Dual Opteron 246 machine, haven't looked at Tyan's settings though, and I think I need to increase the airflow in the case I use. It's fairly old and lacks it, I've cut out the grills and cut a new hole in the top. But It still can't really keep the Opterons cool enough. They run 100% load all the time, and about 60-65C bit warm to start OCing.
