Thats crazy good, though Im wanting a crossfire board to do the same. That Tforce550 looks a little skimpy but apparently that mobo and this proc can hit 3.1G to 3.2G no problems

I have the board and everything on the board is well placed, except the power connector on the mobo.
Has a lot of features and very good at OCing.

SLI and Crossfire are overrated as it is, unless you already have 2 cards.
