2x PCI-E x16 (both at x16 in Crossfire mode)? - Overclock.net

Hi, I'm looking for a reliable AM3 board supports DDR3 memory and just 2 PCI-E x16 slots that both run at the same x16 speed. Any such board?

That board seems to fit you. I really hope your not gonna buy another 8600.... If you have enough money get a new Dual GPU card.

Are you looking for ATI crossfireX or Nvidia SLI?

edit: sorry, i saw the title.

i recommend http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128377 if you are willing to pay that much.

I really don't like most of the motherboards listed. They all seem to have stability issues or of the sort. My current one is horrible, it's freezing randomly and seems to cause my CPU to have high idle temps. I know for a fact the heat is not causing the freezing, though. I kind of like the one Volcom suggested.

...you are doing something wrong. Many people have that board and experience no problems. I also don't understand what you see wrong with the boards on newegg. I used the 790FXB-M3H5 and GD70 and nothing was wrong with either

I honestly can't see what I'm doing wrong. I've done just about everything to figure out what the problem is. I think my board is just faulty. The motherboards listed give me mixed feeling based on what I've read. If any of you guys could point me to a awesome motherboard that is below 200 bucks, I'd be grateful.

I would get the Gigabyte 790FXT. The pci-e x1 slots become useless when using large graphics cards on the other boards. You will be able to use the bottom and top one on the Gigabyte without suffocating the GPU's. As you see on mine I have a TV tuner on the bottom and the top you can see clearly even with two 4870's
