Thank god I didn't have issues like some others had, some guys had to call tech support b/c they couldnt even post and clearing cmos did nothing.
One guy has to wait for them to get chips in stock and send him a stock bios chip. OUCH.

no i didn't try it yet. i don't have any problem so far with bios 0202. only one unwanted reboot but that's all. i did not game yet, just ran 3dmark05 and 06

Thanks for the pics! Looks like that lines up nicely with your rear case fan. Still trying to decide between the Freezer and the Ninja for my C2D...

Finally ordered my memory and OS last night... G-Skill 800 (2 x 1GB) and Vista premium OEM. Should be ready to build by next week!

[gtboi604]

yeah, it lines up pretty well actually...theres enough room for air circulation between the freezer, the Noctua, and the rear case fan, so id say circulation is not bad at all...u should consider it.
read some review on the Noctua, its good just as a passive cooler, i just added the fan cuz i had it lying around...haha.
Have fun with ur build and let us know how it OC's!

I was able to Find a heatsink for the southbridge that will work without a fan and wont give me a problem running 2 8800gtx. But I would like to thank you guys for all the info about overclocking my PC. Im running it about 3.5mhz and even my GPu is overclocked. I ran 3dmark06 lastnight and got a score of 12210 form 9800

thanks again

i dont think the 650i will support 2x 8800 series coz of the shares pci-e lanes,e.g 8x,8x sli,or 16x single card
ive got one of thses boards and its really good,i cant wait for a c2d now (overclocking!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 )
i got ok outa my p4 3ghz,mayb squeeze it upto 4ghz but im runnin the stock hsf

i wanna put this on my 650i NB
anyone changed the shoddy passive one?
if so how'd it go?
i got a few pics to show dimensions

[trekman]

they have tested it and it ran 2 8800gtx with no plroblems. I installed my friend 8800 with mine and didnt have a problem running it with the 8X slots...

read this review they ran 2 Bfg 8800GTX for 14 hrs. of stress test with no problem.

TREKMAN: AWESOME review! I am adding it to the first post for new people!
So glad to see some serious OCing on this board, so many other P5B fans on this forum hate this board, I think they are just jealous.
And now I have proof of dual 8800! SWEET! I had someone tell me it wasn't possible, thank you so much Trekman! Rep to you!
(PS you should fill out your specs in EDIT SYSTEM so it is easier to read!)

PASTIE: Wow the stock HSF looks so wierd when I am used to my Freezer! I was actually looking @ that cooler as well, but I think I want an active HS for the NB, is there a fan you could clip to that? Does the HS have to point a certain way? (obviously I would want the airflow facing the rear)
