Thanks Dark. :)

Depends on what speed I set the fans to. At full speed is pretty loud, but at their lowest speed it's pretty decent, just a humm. I usually keep them at the middle, between lowest and highest speed.

Alright, got everything installed and running. Took me a little while cuz I had to re-do my water cooling loop and then I formatted my OS HDD so had to re-install Windows and all the software. Board has been performing great so far. The only trouble I had was at first was with the chipset...

Ooohhh, so the triple threat is three left clicks. I thought what it did was simulate clicking Left Click, Right Click and the center Wheel Click in sequence, lol. :p Still not very useful, but not as useless.

Looks cool. Does that "Triple Threat" button get in the way? Did you clicking it accidentally much? I find it kind of useless since I have yet to play a game where I need to click all three buttons in a row. Maybe it wouldn't not be if it had been customizable.

Yeah, I'm betting it was the 2.4v over time. But this is not a chipset thing, it's been happening with all chipsets, it just seems that people with 680i boards had worse luck. The memory manufacturers are to blame. Manufacturers are selling RAM rated at voltages that will eventually kill it.

Maybe not. Were you running the stick at 2.3v or more? A lot of people are reporting dead RAM lately, and it seems it seems it's because they are using too much voltage. EVGA even recognized this problem: http://evga.com/community/messageboard/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=31115

Alright, I think I'm getting the eVGA 680i A1. I do like the 965p chipset too, however the only board I would actually get is the Asus Commando, but the one piece heatpipe heatsink covering the whole board (SB, NB and PWM) is a turn off. I'm watercooling the NB so I would have to replace...

Alright, thanks a lot. :)

Hey Rob, does the eVGA 680i run much hotter than the XBX2? Or other 975x and 965p mobos? Is it more voltage hungry? I mean, does it require noticeably more voltage than other 975x and 965p motherboards to maintain the same clocks?

350?! Man there was definitely something wrong with your board. According to some users the QuadGT is also a solid board and a good OCer. It has good features and I like the layout. The Debug LED is also a plus. Oh, and it isn't that expensive either. Any thoughts on the ASUS Commando?

Ok, I'm officially considering the Abit QuadGt over the Intel XBX2, mainly because the XBX2 doesn't allow to change the multiplier downwards.

Damn and it seems that the P5N32-E SLI Plus runs very hot according to this review: http://www.neoseeker.com/Articles/Ha...2e-sli/12.html Heat is one of the factors I'm more concern about because I live in a hot place, and it stays fairly hot all year. Yes it is a little cooler during the...

Yeah I saw the review. Also checked a few more. So far all the reviews give this board very positive scores.

My main concern about the P5N32-E SLI Plus is stability. From what I've read, it seems like a hell lot of trouble to get OCs on this board stable.

Yes, I've taken note of the quirkiness warning. But since so far I haven't read of anyone else experiencing those problems I think it might have been your board. Well anyway, I've decided that I would take the Intel XBX2 over the Abit QuadGT, but now there's another contender... the Asus...

Thanks for the suggestion Werty. Alright, I've narrowed it to 2 boards so far: Abit QuadGT Intel XBX2 PS. Still wondering what people think of the Asus P5N32-SLI Plus?

My Asus P5W64 went bad and now I need a new mobo. I'm indecisive on what mobo to get. I want one that runs cool, that can handle a fair amount of voltage and it's solid and stable for 24/7 overclocks. For 24/7 usage and stability, which motherboard would you recommend me for under $250? My...

I noticed my CPU temp at idle was much higher than usual, so I checked the voltage, and for some unknown reason it had gone up almost 0.1v all by itself! When I go into my BIOS all the CPU voltages under 1.425v had disappeared. I can't set it lower than 1.425v! My mobo overvolts about .05v, so...

You HAVE to play Castlevania Symphony Of The Night for the Playstation. SOTN is the pinnacle by which all other Castlevanias are measured, and none of them have been able to reach it. It's simply one of the best games ever made.
