I am sick of reading page after page of reviews. The more I read, the more it looks like the differences between all the boards is minimal. So who are the votes for? 965P, 975, 680i?
Wants:
- I want to be able to oc as much as possible on air to start, the switch to water when I get bored.
- Wifi is unimportant to me as I will never use it with this machine.
- I do not need CF or SLI; I dont forsee using more than one vid card.
- RAID is important, I will be using this.
- Budget = willing to spend what it takes
Hardware I will be using:
- 2 x 74GB WD raptor in raid 0
- 1 x 320GB Segate storage drive
- 2 x Optical drive
- 2 x 1GB sticks DDR2 800Mhz (Gskill or Teamgroup)
- 1900XTX
- 600 Silverstone strider PSU
- TT SViking case (may purchase new case shortly)
I've read 965 allow for more FSB increase, but that 975 will be faster at the same clock speed. Do these effectively cancel eachother out? Most of the reviews of boards from all 3 chipsets I've read end up getting similar results. At this point, I am prob going to get a P5B-Deluxe unless someone talks me out of it.
