x_6985381 Posted April 1, 2007 Author CID Share Posted April 1, 2007 Neg, It's depressing, but I'm not playing with it, hopefully everything will be gone by the next time I touch it. If you can find a better deal on a motherboard and ram package with heatspreader, I'd go for it, but I wana try G.Skill Once more. They've been good to me since these two. --> Edit: God // changed to Good ** Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/18347-new-pc-new-problems/page/2/#findComment-216047 Share on other sites More sharing options...

run Posted April 4, 2007 CID Share Posted April 4, 2007 There is no SLI with that board. so the 680i is not pointless. I didn't notice he had 2 video cards? Also a single 8800GTX will run just about any games at highest settings on a 24" wide screen monitor, so SLI is pointless, unless you wanna get 2 8800GTX and impress all the ladies at lan parties C2D e4300 is insanely overclockable, and that mother board helps even more - proof in the link. http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2903&p=1 Sure the higher cache on higher end core 2 duos help, but honestly your not going to notice between 60 FPS and 70 FPS , let alone 180 FPS or 190 FPS Also forgot to note, just because the northbridge isn't 680i doesn't mean it can't have SLI(although the motherboard I listed _doesn't) Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/18347-new-pc-new-problems/page/2/#findComment-216435 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLi is never pointless I didn't notice he had 2 video cards? he doesnt have to right away, maybe he will get another one later on. Ive got a SLI board but i don't have 2 video cards but i might some day.
