Gskill should be fine...

The board that you listed here seems better than the asus one i posted for 209 and the one you posted was only 179 which is really do you know if that the board you posted is better than i posted cause it looks to me like yours is better. I just don't know how to tell what board is better for overclocking. Also can you help me find a board for my his budget is 300 its for an i7 930 the same one im getting cause there really cheap. He actually wants one that run 3 cards all at x16 if he can for $300 thanks for you help Diaz and i how do i check which ram will fit which mobo just to make sure.

If your going with an ATX setup, which is what I see from what you posted, go with the Asus.

For your friend:
For $300, you wont get 16x/16x/16x, but 16x/8x/8x (which is enough for any of today's cards) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131614

For $400 you get true x16/x16/x16 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131390

Lol which asus i put up 3 different asus boards lol and what do you mean by im going with an atx setup is that a good setup or not. And what would be better 16x/16x/4x or 16x/8x/8x thanks

your friend needs to keep in mind, depending on the resolution. he wont see any gains and benchmarks do show that in some games you actually take a FPS hit. a 16/8/8 setup is going to be way to go vs the two but you would really want a 16/16/16 setup. though that does cost more money.

 

[eclipse07]

ight i think the best way for both of us would be just to 16/16 just run two cards and im not sure if the gskill rip jaw ram will fit in the mother boards i posted how would i find out.

what?

 

[eclipse07]

what?

lol i took a guess there thinking that i could run 16x/16x if just ran 2 cards and i wanted to know if the g skill rip jaws which are ram would fit the mother boards posted earlier also which would be a better case haf 922 or antec 900 two

only LGA1366 motherboard will give you true 16/16 setup for sli. im not sure why the rip jaws wouldnt fit? i have a 2x2kit in my GB-P55M-UD4 with no problems...

ok i guess ill just go for it and risk though im still not sure which motherboard out of the three i listed im going to get.

 

[diaz]

This motherboard if your getting the i7 930.

Your GSkill will fit just fine, but you'll want to get 3 sticks.

-D

 

[eclipse07]

ok this is the motherboard i think im going to settle on what do you guys think. Im going with it because it has the newer 3.0 usb and its pretty much just like the p6t and im going to use the g skill rip jaw ram do i need 3 sticks with this board or is 2 fine they only come in 2's

[eclipse07]

can anyone answer this i want to go ahead get my mother board already just need to know if this one is good for overclocking.

 

[eclipse07]

ok im almost done buying everything all i have left is the case i want a full tower because i saw some at microcenter and thought they looked pretty cool plus it would be future proof if i ever need to change or things to it anyways i found this case made by xclio it got 5 stars but im asking just to make sure if its a reliable case thanks

[arcanise]

just make sure you get plenty of fans

a small case makes it hard for air too flow nicely

 

[eclipse07]

so you think thats a good brand should last me awhile

 

[ChanceCoats123]

Oh dear god. Please tell me you chose from these and not these.

 

[eclipse07]

nothing wrong with that ram but you should have gotten lower cas timings. for a small jump in cost this would have been the better way to go IMO

i wish i would have know that earlier i dont think they will let me exchange it now it says my items have been shipped but what does lower cas timing do and i did not even see those when i was looking for ram yesterday.
