I'm selling my B3 Q6600 and my DS3L
I'm taking the opportunity to get a G0 for $245 flat. My B3 sucks to the max, with a VID of 1.275, I need 1.55V+ to be able to get 3.6GHz stable... I might be able to sell it locally for $220
Now here comes the tricky part for me - choosing the board. I definitely want SLI now, even though I've been bashing it for quite a while now... so basically my choices are
680i LT
680i
780i
I'm not a RAID person and I could care less about a third PCI-E slot, and some missing USB ports... so the LT looks very appealing to me for $99... but what else have they cut back on the thing? Any overclocking options? Does it just not overclock as well as a regular 680i? What's the deal?
And also, what's the deal with 780i? Is it just added support for Yorkfields and PCI-E 2.0? Or does it actually have better overclocking features, stability, etc etc..
I might nab another GTS for $250 flat btw -
