As you can see I have the ECGA SLi board which has already taken its toll on one stick of my memory and fried it. I am looking for options that can replace my EVGA board. Anything goes as long as it will work with the rest of the components I have.
I just wanted to bump this with some boards I have been looking at.
Gigabyte 965p-DQ6
Asus Striker Extreme
If there are any thoughts on these two boards or a different board I could really use your opinion. I am open to any and all options including changing ram and cpu cooler.
If the board really is faulty, you could go for the Gigabyte DS3. Or the Asus 650i SLi if you are considering SLi. From what I've heard, the Striker and DQ6 don't have much to recommend themselves over their cheaper brethren. Although, judging by the rest of your rig, price isn't that crucial anyway.
