well, if the quality is near that of the i7 Gene, it's most likely damn good.

Fitseries3 · Aug 10, 2009, 04:14 PM

BUT...

if its like the DFI p45 JR then its likely got problems past 445fsb.

i cant find any good reviews on it

it was pulled from production too. VERY short shelf life

boomstik360 · Aug 10, 2009, 04:58 PM

What kind of ram are you looking for?

That should be a pretty sweet setup there

Maybe a package deal with the e6500K?

Hehe

DanishDevil · Aug 10, 2009, 05:03 PM

I'm gonna be listing some awesome clocking DDR2 tomorrow. Keep an eye out for it. My E8400 and DFI P45 mATX too. Fit you should pick some up to help with that E6500K.

douglatins · Aug 10, 2009, 05:21 PM

Fitseries3 · Aug 10, 2009, 05:23 PM

I just pulled some G.Skill Pi Black 1066's.

Fitseries3 · Aug 13, 2009, 09:31 PM

SystemViper · Aug 13, 2009, 09:53 PM
