Its for a Intell q6600 chip with ddr2 1066 RAM and 2 9800gx2. Played with the EVGA 780i mobo and ASUS board is too expensive. Have those 2 really been it or are there other Mobos with NF780i? Looking for quality and can scream at overclocking.

I have had the Evga 780iSLI from their free one time upgrade program for about a month and a half. It has been absolutely rock solid since day one. No glitches whatsoever. My Q6600 prefers 3.5Ghz but can boot at 3.7Ghz, just not stable in games. Its much harder to OC Quads than Duos, you have to consider you double everything and more circuitry is harder to maintain stable than less. Same reason Duos with less cache are often easier to OC than higher cache duos.

Suppose I can get another EVGA, built a few using it but had some DOA issues with them. 3.5ghz seems to be the avg cap for this chipset but I'll be happy to get 3ghz since it will still blow away my opteron 170 at 3.3ghz BIG time. Try running 2 9800gx2 on my Opteron 170 is bottlenecking me, or it could be Vista.
