the evga 680i board works, just get a A1 T1 or D00 revision, i can't remember but the first set of 680i's weren't as compatable, i have gottem mine to boot into windows at 3.6 Ghz but heat was an issue, osm im waiting for Aftermarket parts for my nb and sb chips.
sli or crossfire
sorry i dint reply earlier (exams....)
i was wondering wether i should stick with crossfire or use sli.....
and still wondering 8800 gts or gtx????(in terms of value for money)
do u guys think my setup is going to cram my antec 900 up???
i really like windows on my case and i am thinking of getting the thermaltake armour or if i have to the cm stacker 830
but i'd stick to the antec nless i really had too
i wont be upgrading this system other than for adding neon and led fans and stuff so tell me guys what do u think....????
cpu cooler issues again i like the scythe ninja and samurai but i dont think i want to add all that stress on my cpu cuz the thingy weighs around 1kg.....
