PurSuiT Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Think Nemesis had a board that he got back from RMA, but had already bought another one by then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Ob. Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Passive cooling is a little unusual. Probably fine if not OC'n and good air flow in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaPoets Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 which board has two x16 pci-e slots.... I was just reading how 2 x16 slots work out better than having x8 or x4 if you ever want to go crossfire/sli. ah here is the article. Very good read on if PCI 4,8,16 matter... http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/200...8_versus_p35/1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Ob. Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 True, but having a AMD/ATI video card on a nvidia chipset, he would need either a different m/b, or 2 nvidia vid cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
