| 688704 | 2008-07-15 04:12:00 | Mainly gaming yes I have a 9800 GTX no plans to add another or upgrade however I would prefer SLI so I have that flexibility. This is a massive card so the board needs to be well spaced incase I add another I want heatsinks on the board NO fans. I have no experience OC and I just want it to work and stay working, if I can get it OC'ed without hassle then I would look at it. Right, massive GFX card, and your gaming, something like this would be ideal, Neal. www.computerlounge.co.nz Or a bit cheaper www.computerlounge.co.nz |

| 688706 | 2008-07-15 05:09:00 | Or if you really want to spend all that money. Striker II (www.ascent.co.nz) P5N-T Deluxe (www.ascent.co.nz) You'll have no problem OC'ing either of those. Or: 3 way SLI! LOL! (www.ascent.co.nz) If you only wanted modest gains then OCing is easy as pie. It only becomes hard when you really want to get everything out of your chip. I got my Q6600 to 3.4 fairly easily, after messing round a little with voltage settings. But it could sit at 3.0 if you just go in and change the FSB to 333. I'd read up here (http://forums.overclockers.co.nz/) before I did anything drastic though. SLI can only work on boards with Nvidia chipsets, and most 775 boards don't have them. Crossfire is fine though, 2 x 4850's would be an awesome rig. 2 x 4870's would be amazing, and 2 x 4870x2 would be insane. ATI have the edge atm, and they're cheaper too. |

| 688707 | 2008-07-15 05:13:00 | ATI only have an edge if you haven't upgraded the vid card in the last month | DeSade (984) | ||
| 688708 | 2008-07-15 05:25:00 | Whoops, that P5E I posted is a crossfire board! :lol: Try this one. www.computerlounge.co.nz The AMD motherboards have a much wider range for SLI than the Intel ones do. Like this one www.computerlounge.co.nz |

You want 4-way Crossfire X !!! Or how about 4 x 4870-X2s? :D (is that even possible?) |

Most boards with 4xPCI-Ex16 won't physically fit a fourth double wide card. Unless you took the stock cooler off and got a slim water cooler for all of them... So, I guess... yes. If you're insane. And insanely rich. Although it helps that 4870x2 isn't released yet. It comes out next month. |

| 688712 | 2008-07-15 08:36:00 | AMD is a lot weaker than Intel. A fair amount cheaper though. |
Thebananamonkey (7741) | ||
| 688713 | 2008-07-15 11:21:00 | Price isn't really a consideration within my budget and what I have been shown so far clearly is. But I agree, Intel is much better than AMD at the moment. |
