P45's overclocking ability overrules SLI imho. But if you are set on SLI a 780i chipset isn't THAT bad.

Well i have not tried it myself but from what they say is that the SLI will work just like in a SLI MB. It all a matter of compatibility.

Oooo I'ma have to talk to him.

That's the thread where I got the information from. Apparently it worked for him, so I don't see why it wouldn't work for an identical P45 chipset.

OO yah I PMed ghost awhile ago about this..Since hes doing cross fire now. I wanted to see if he had problems.
But i defiently thinking about just going ATI....Seems less annoying in this situation at least.

I've been looking at EVGA, XFX, And asus. But so far newegg has had mix results and not many people here have vouched for theses boards.

Yah, What board do you think i should get for SLI.

It will make more difference than running the same clock with the same card (just like you are now) |

Was 3.4 the max you could get? Somone else told me that got 4ghz on a 790i, so i guess theses boards can handle a quad : D
Originally Posted by tK FuRY I'm perfectly satisfied with my 780i FTW and it can do good FSBs (I've only used a Q6600 once on this board and got 3.4GHz) I would say grab a 750i FTW or the 780i FTW. |

I dont know about that...
If you're going to go for a new board AND ddr3 you might as well get an X48 board since the chipset doesn't run into the 60-70*C range.
But OP, it all comes down to wanting SLI or not. If you want it a 780i would be fine if you dont want to squeeze every last mhz out of your chip.
