mobo for Q9450

Th3 F4ll3n P1mp · Feb 10, 2008

Im waiting for the Q9450 to come out. What motherboard should I get. 680i or 780i? I plan to get a new GTS, and SLI it later down the road. Im looking for a good OC on video card cpu and ram.

The 680i does not even support the yorkfields so between those two, 780i.

Ok, lol. I heard about 3 way SLI. Is it true that it is only for GTX and ULTRA?

Neural Net · Feb 10, 2008

Yep it's true, only the GTX and the Ultra have enough sli connectors (2 instead of the usual 1). I currently have a 780i motherboard, had no problems with it so far, running everything very well. Currently trying to squeeze more out of my CPU, my FSB is at 460Mhz atm.

Is it possible to mod the GTS's?
Lol im a mod person...

For triple sli? Nope, not one bit.

How much can you afford to spend on a mobo?

If you don't mind spending top dollar and waiting, I'd wait for the X48 and 790i chipsets to come out and see how those do.

Otherwise I'd go with a good X38 board.

Any board triple SLI with GTS? Im looking for about a 1600 dollar rig without the screen etc. Maybe 1800 tops.

wait for the 790i or get the GigaByte X48T-DQ6 board and run a single card, thats what i'm waiting for.

How much will 790i be?
