x38 or 780i

[maroon1]

take a look at the 750i

Newegg.com - ASUS P5N-D LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

Thats a very cheap mobo that supports SLI

I am not just going for SLI, I want really good OC, and reliability.

any of the three you are looking at will OC just as good as the other...your limiting factor is going to be temps.

i would go for x38, afetr having my 680i and its so called 'fsb holes' i would never get a nvidia board again at leat untill i hear nothing but good things about it.

fsb holes => its really wierd in certain fsb speeds i cannot even post the computer. im pretty sure with my 680i and q6600 G0 i cant post between 3.3-3.5 which is really annoying if i wanna go higher its straight to 3.6

X38

imo the 6-series nvidia chipsets were not very good...and I wouldn't count on the 750/780 being any better as they use many of the exact same components.

im glad im not the only one who was aware that the 780i was the 680i north bridge.

I knew it, I knew nVidia would cheap out, nVidia make bad chipsets... end of story

they should just stick to solid GPU's

you all make it sound like its the worst board on earth, when its not.

ya what I said was a bit harsh, that would be VIA, but I say p35 and x38 rule
