As far as I've seen they are compatible, yet im constantly being told to got for an X38 chipset since these components aren't compatible? Can someone clarify this for me... I don't understand why they wouldn't be.
Yes, they are compatible. I guess people are just saying go with X38 because they are tried and tested. 780i is pretty much brand new, so maybe the people telling you that are just concerned that the chipset might not be a good performer.
Who knows why they would say that, but that chip will run on that board.
