i love my mobo its wicked, pencil mod is a must.

ya thats the only thing i don't like... "pencil mod"

i've been looking at the 790i ftw digital pwm... i'd buy it if it didnt use retarded ddr3.... vdroop is nonexistent with that board....

because with pencil mods, they are not permanent... and graphite changes shape and layout when its heated up.. lots of 4850 users are saying their voltages changes after X amount of months... but then again a mobo doesnt get as hot as a gpu

ya i might just stick with the 750i... i'd hate to spend 300 on a mobo when nahalem will be out soon....

I'm really considering asking my parents to sell my whole rig and buy a gaming laptop.... but idk

(but most likely I'll be good with my desktop)

I wouldn't do it if I were you. Having a laptop as a only system isn't fun, I was stuck on one for a year before I build my system. plus if anything breaks you can't replace it. Laptops are also more expensive and slower.

Are you still having trouble with your HD 2900 Pro?

pencil mod is not too bad. My voltage stays spot on until I change it.

The trick is to just make sure it's completely applied before you actually measure with the DMM. I even have a fan blowing right over the mod and it has not changed since I last set it.

Nos, why don't you just get one of those tech benches? They're cheap and seeing how you never put any of your **** in a case anyways.
