i think its just overkill .. plus i really dont like the 680i chipset .. hds disappearing .. have to reboot mutiple times to get it to detect it ... i dunno
plus also temps on the 2nd video card hit like 80s .. even tho a fan is blowing acorss them .. top one idles at 51c .. loads upper 60s .. bottom one idles 63c .. loads 81 or so .. just dont like it ..
plus i only play wow sometimes and cs source .. not very demanding .. even at a very high res
how is the intel badaxe 2 ?

No true "best" motherboard. They all have their pros and cons. If you aren't planning on running Crossfire, then the Asus P5B Deluxe is an excellent choice.

you're running SLI, temps are going to be high unless you're on water.
there's no perfect board, a defect free 680i is as good as it gets if you ask me.....*touchwood* zero probs with mine

The BadAxe2 is a very good board, but it won't break any high front side bus speed records, but if your looking for a single vid card 975X chipset board the BA2 is good for about 400-425 front side bus with very good memory voltage settings...
