Yeah I bought the BFG 680i SLI motherboard. I dont use any additional sound cards so I shouldn't have too many problems. Thanks guys for the advice, pro and con. I read alot around and it doesnt look like I will have too many issues.

Well I know I definately want to move into the nForce 680i SLi chipset and not buy an older chipset architecture, and since the Striker Extreme is also a 680i SLI chipset, as is the BFG one, yet more expensive due to extras I don't need like the EL panel lighting and the on-board LED lighting, I...

BFG nForce680i_motherboard I am planning on building a new C2D system as I just got a 2.67 Conroe E6700 cpu given to me as a gift. Now I am looking for a great motherboard to use dual nVidia's in SLI.

Strange how nVidia even points you to the 680i EVGA board for Vista. I was thinking of getting the EVGA 680i SLI motherboard or the Asus Striker Extreme. What do you guys think of these boards?

Don't install Vista on 680i mobo's? What then would be a great SLI motherboard for the Core 2 Duo (2.66) to run Vista on?!

I need to upgrade and just got a Core 2 Duo 2.66 cpu, and have the SLI going in another rig using an AMD5000+ cpu and the Asus M2N32 SLI Deluxe with 2Gb of OCZ nVidia SLI ram (PC2 7200 SLI Ready 4-4-3-15 DDR2 ram) SLI Ram, but want to move up with my C2Duo. I was hoping I could get advice on a...

Which if these two motherboards would you consider to be better than the other, given that you have an AMD 5000+ cpu and Nvidia 7800GTX 256Mb video card, The Asus M2N32-SLI deluxe or Tyan Tomcat n3400B? Both are SLI and I may go to SLI soon.

Which card is stronger? I have both and don't know which one is better than the other?

I have the Abit NF8 mobo with a Sempron 3300+, 1Gb of Corsair 400Mhz XMS3208 v1.1 ( 2.2.2.5) with the LEDs, BFG6800 OCGT 256mb ram, watercooled cpu only. Has anyone got a good overclock with these cpu's ( 3300+ Semprons) ?? If so any suggestions for O'Clocking this box?

Guys, go to your local motorcycle store ( Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Honda, etc... sportbike ones) and look for a gallon of a liquid called "Engine Ice". It is a deep blue color, is pre-mixed and better than most of the other fluids I have tried. It uses De-Ionized water, meaning that it has even...

budget not really an issue, but would like it to be as inexpensive as possible naturally. The sempron was given to me for free thats only reason why I have a Sempron. Thanks for the suggestions. :)

I have an AMD Socket 754 3300 Sempron processor on the shelf, and am looking to buy a great nforce board for it. Any suggestions? I heard the Abit NF8 board is good ( nForce3), but was wondering if there are any better ones out there for this chip. I also have 1 gb of DDR OCZ ram for this...

Consensus between Nanotherm PCM + or Artic Silver 5?? Which one works better than the other.
