Hi all,
First off- I know I've been posting lots of threads about motherboards, but I just want to make the best choice before spending hundreds of dollars, you know? Anyway, I've been considering this beast for my new 3820 build (see sig rig). It looks like a simply phenomenal board, but are there any known problems I should be aware of? Keep in mind I want it for:
-Getting the 3820 to 4.5 Ghz on air easily
-Gaming (hurr durr)
-Running two 1.5 Tbs in Raid 0
I know this may seem like stupid questions considering the motherboard is soo premium, but will it be good for this stuff? My primary concern is overclocking; this will be my first time and I want it to be as smooth as possible. Got the money in my Paypal and about to spring.
Thanks!
