I would say 650i will be faster than P965 in memory bandwidth.

why arc-achieve ur vcore so weird........

btw i found EVGA 680i seems to be a very good choice, it top choice for a lot of system builder and vendor in US....even for factory Overclock version (with guranteed of course)

about XFX, it seems it is the same board from as EVGA but cannot confirm yet, not much review on it yet that i can found

Its called vdroop, and its normal.

eh this chipset is an enthusiast mobo
and if u dont sli it like no point..

i dont get y so many ppl buying this board and running single card on it.
waste of money.

common problems with 680 chipsets
1. Xi-Fi  irq/dma clash with usb devices
2. Ram voltages above 2.2vdimm... easy to fry the ram over long run.
3. Problems with quad core fsb overclocking
4. Problems with running at 1333 at stock voltages.
5. Raid crashes with IDE setups.

here i am after trying 4 different types of this mobo, rmaed 3 times for evga, one time for striker, and not impressed with gigabyte with vcore limitations.

so far winner is the asus p5n32e-sli no problems at all..
but overall just waiting for a new chipset that is not so problematic as this.

most overclockable and fun is still the evga...
worst of all striker extreme
best at stock everything is the gigabyte.

Well, its like why buying a sport car when you don't even race with it. wink.gif

EVGA 680i is the way to go. Asus P5N32-E SLI has serious problem with Quad processor with FSB wall of 360-380FSB.

Both Striker Extreme and P5N32-E SLI have GTL voltage problem which limits the FSB when pairing with any Quad.

Yes, hardmodding is able to solve it, if you want to take the risk that is.

680i has native 1333 support, so don't worry.

Its the motherboard at fault due to the GTL voltage. P35 will do good with Quad.

Yes, no problem, but do note that ram won't be so optimized.

If your eVGA is the new revision A1, then you dont have to worry when pairing with Quad processor.

I think he means better don't do any hardmod if possible since it's quite suicidal and can void motherboard warranty. If you dare to and confidence enough that are willing to take such risk, it is still up to you.
