You can get the 5770 for $165 shipped here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...ue&Order=PRICE I would rather have that personally, and then make up the cost with your 8800gt for sale ($60 or so if sold here for example) Its honestly a tough call. As you can tell, Im not a proponent of SLi/Crossfire. The 780i chipset can get your same clocks, but then again sometimes SLI scaling is non existent or not that great (note most of the...

Well i can't get this **** DIMM's stable at speeds over stock. I will run 518 x 8,5 for 24/7 at 1.42vcore RAM will be underclocked a lil bit, but it's ok. SPI 1.5 1M run: 10,6sec

I ended up grabbing a pq5-e out of the classies. It was cheaper and I like the board layout better.

Paying that much money for a board to get incosistent performance boosts just doesnt jive with my wallet. Do you think it'd be smarter to keep my current setup and buy the ATI Radeon 5770? I found the motherboard for $99 recertified and the video card looks like it costs about $180.

Your RAM should easily hit >1020MHz, but with 8GB and a FSB : DRAM ratio of 1:1 at a FSB of 500MHz+, you'll need to compensate heavily by increasing the vNB / vMCH and / or increasing DRAM voltage combined w/ looser timings. There's just too much strain on the NB w/ that much RAM installed, running at DDR2-1000MHz+, and w/ the FSB so high. You'll have a much better chance of achieving a higher clock by lowering the FSB,...

i Imitated your settings as best as i could. It looked like it was going to work, but just bebore booting the OS i got this TRAP 00000030 =============EXCEPTION================= tr=ffff cr0=00000000 cr2=00000000 cr3=00600060 gdt limit=007f base=0001f000 idt limit=07ff base=f0800000 cs:eip=0007dbe0 ss:esp=0060:00000018 errcode=0000 flags=0007dbe0 NoCy Zr IntDis Down TrapDis and some more garbage.

SPI 1.5 1M run: 10,6sec Sometimes you can't have it all They're updating BIOSes pretty regularly, so keep checking, maybe one will fix you up. Another thing, if I didn't mention it before, don't set the latch freq manually,...

i just tried a clean insall to no avail. i have had the 9800gx2 in a biostar tpower p45 and it hit 20k also. this makes no sense. my memory benches higher in everest and so does the cpu on this board. i now have it at 1200, 5,5,5, 18. i also have tried the f7 beta bios and that has done nothing. it is almost like the pci express slot cant give the card full power. oh i am water cooled, not that that really matters, but this is making me mad....
