Hi all, I've just about had an absolute gut full with my current rig. I've been having random BSoD's for about a year and have come to the conclusion my P5Q-Pro has a possible memory controller issue.
(24hr p95 blend stable / 24hr memtest stable etc - yet still has random 'hardware related' crashes - the only original components left is the CPU and mobo)
I was going to upgrade anyway, but can't find any EVGA Classifieds (759/760 - only the SE editions are available x16/x8 CF :shadedshu ) and I've had enough of Asus.
I'm in Australia and there are only a few e-tailers I trust, so choices are limited.
I started looking for an alternative x58 board and found this in stock:
http://www.gigabyte.com.au/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=3251
And was wondering if anyone has any personal experience overclocking with it? There's not a lot of 'real world reviews' that I could find since it's so new.
I'll be pairing it with a i7 920 and will be air-cooled (for now). I'm aiming for a 'comfortable' OC between 3.6-3.8ghz.
Ideally I want to run two individual cards at x16, but I can't determine which slots are the PCIEX16_1 and PCIEX16_2. I have a sneaking suspicion they may be the physical slots 1 and 2
Thanks in advance for any ideas, thoughts etc.
