I'm going to build a comp. with an Intel QX6600, 4G ram, 500G HD, 1 EVGA 8800GTX 768Mb(upgrading to 2 when I have enough money) I am Having trouble finding a mobo. I was looking at the ASUS extreme Striker and the EVGA 680i, but I was told they don't support 65nm. Can someone suggest a good mobo for this setup??
 
Who told you that motherboard doesn't support a 65nm chip? It's a LGA775 board so it won't support AMD's 65nm processors, but that pretty much it.
 
If you're looking for an enthusiast's mobo, go with ASUS or MSI. EVGA's 680i is known to have faulty vDiMM capacitors that cause DDR voltage to fluctuate abnormally and eventually leads to the death of memory modules in OC'ed rigs. Of course, it's been denied on all accounts but I and my OC friends don't give a flying crap about what they say. Be wise and go with companies that won't deny their own incompetence to save dollars and faces by robbing you of your investments. :rolleyes:
 
"EVGA should be proud to sell this motherboard and NVIDIA should be proud of the engineering that went into it."

When it works, it's one of the best boards out. But they have been many problems with it.. I wouldn't try my luck.
 
the Gigabyte P35 DS3P board is not really a SLI ready board. So if you want that option in the future, then pass on it. Otherwise I like that board. I try to stay away from Asus boards.They are to picky about ram and other things.
 
i would go with evga 680i if it works, it will always work, and it can handle some extreme overclocking : ), i heard that the asus extreme striker has alot of problems, but read the reviews, and you cant beat evga custumer support.
