not quite, thats the normal ic7-g, i think he suggested the max2 because until recently newegg used to still have stock

Thanks. I just saw it on newegg and I'm about to order it. Should I be worried about the northbridge chip overheating? I read a couple reviews and they said its chip gets hot.

I have one of those in the spare machne and the northbridge runs nice and cool. Using that board I got a 2.4C up to 3.6 on stock voltage.

I have the IC7-MAX3 and I had my 2.4 @ 3.7 on watercooling 99% stable. I have scaled it back to 3.4 and it still screams.
