is this a good sli mobo?

abuzz · Oct 3, 2013

hello guyz recently i am looking to get into pc gaming so i wanted to buy a gpu as i am in budget so i wanted to buy a mid-range gpu and sli them later. so iam looking for gtx 650ti boost and after one month sli them , so i wanted to know is this mobo good for sli - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128542

if not suggest me in this price point.

current specs:

intel core i5 2500k

intel dh67bl - mobo

4gb ram

500w coolermaster psu

last question is sli worth it ?

AxlFone · Oct 3, 2013

Im not sure but do that MoBo support SLI? Remember CF and SLI is NOT same thing. MoBo can support CF but NOT SLI.
If not then you need better MoBo.

Cooler Master is not maybe best PSU for SLI.
Maybe best look better. Like Rosewill capstone or Seasonic (XFX)
Or something good..

Why did u pick mATX MoBo? Can u use ATX MoBo?
This is good MoBo.

Yes SLI is worth it. If you do not have now money to one fast enough video card. I think best choise is buy GTX 760 or 7950 / 7970 or new 290 tahiti chip.

firstly this system was not meant for gaming so i bought a mobo which supports i5 that time i was not knowing z68,z77 chipsets.
what about this mobo:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157330

max i can afford is gtx 760 in single card, but only if i drop in mobo , so what to do?

AxlFone · Oct 3, 2013

How much you have money to this upgrade?
And second. Do you need SLI support if I look MoBo + Video card like GTX 760 (no sli) because MoBo or is better go with 7950 / 7970?

This MoBo supports SLI + CF

Then this GTX 760. Cheap and good.

why not go with 2x 650ti boost which will be powerful than a single 760?

so which way to go ?
2x650ti boost or 760 but if i buy 760 i cannot be able to buy a new mobo.

Both are good options. You get better performance with 1080p monitor if go with SLI 650Ti boost + new MoBo.

ok so if you are saying i am going with gtx 650ti boost sli , so i just wanted to know will gtx 650ti boost will be discontinued till january ?

and please tell me is this good parts for sli ?

1.asrock extreme 3

2. ZOTAC NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost 2 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card [will add another one after few months]

3. seasonic 620w s12II

and i am reading some post , they are telling sli is not a good idea because it causes micro stutter, lag, generate heat ?

please clarify me on that

AxlFone · Oct 3, 2013

You will get best answer from seller or manufacturer.
I think you will find GTX 650 Ti boost in january too.

and please tell me is this good parts for sli ?

1.asrock extreme 3

2. ZOTAC NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost 2 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card [will add another one after few months]

3. seasonic 620w s12II

1 Yes. AsRock extreme 4 is better. But Extreme 3 can do the job.

2. Zotac is good card. They give 5 year warranty so it can not be that bad.
Gigabyte is good or EVGA.

3 Seasnic is good psu. XFX is made by seasonic too so look them too. They can be cheaper.

and i am reading some post , they are telling sli is not a good idea because it causes micro stutter, lag, generate heat ?

If look test results you can see that SLI is working pretty solid.
Gives that 50% more power so it can not be that bad?
Nvidia drivers seems work better in SLI than Atis (AMD) in CF

Heat is not so much issue if you have good air flow in case,
If you add one fan to side panel or floor under video cards to make sure they get cool fresh air. Heat is not so much issue. Now all video cards do get hot in full load. So good airflow is what you need. It do not matter so much is there one or two cards.

Sure. We talk about components and if something do not work it just do not work. Can driver issue or sound card in wrong pci-e slot.
But when it works it will work better than one card.
hard to tell what can go wrong. But if something goes wrong we here try to fix problems. You know where you find help if you need it

This is free and good place to get help.
