Just needs a good psu.

POGE

600watt x-connect will not do the job. Its not atx12v.

rickjames

Why would a 600watt x-connect not do the job? I seen a guy with a that mobo using a 480watt.

so your saying i'd have to get a new psu, how about nvm not getting that mobo.

i say dont worry about your PSU if you're going with mobo get the DFI NF4 SLi or the ASUS A8N SLi. I went with ASUS because i trust them more. Also the scores at anandtech were a little better in most parts

If you're not getting the DFI, don't get the ASUS,get the MSI. Read this article he's referring to at Anandtech.com. It didn't perform well at all and many on this site have problems getting the fsb over 250 stable. Here's a quote and also the link:

"Asus has been the overclocking leader in many of our recent Intel processor roundups, so it was certainly a disappointment that the Asus turned out to be a below-average overclocker in the SLI roundup. The highest CPU speed that we could reach with stability was 255, but performance at the stock 12 multiplier of our 4000+ was a respectable 234. With two of the boards in the SLI roundup going well above 300 in the same configuration, this was hardly impressive overclocking."
