I need a motherboard to house my system:
Intel C2D E8400 w. Noctua P12
OCZ DDR3 1600 7-7-7-24 @1.9v (2x2gb)
EVGA 8800gts (g92) w. HR-03gt <-- step-up card, placeholder for 280.
Powered by the Zalman 1000w PSU.
Loved the idea of the 790i and bought the EVGA version. Complete fail, if you get a bad one like i did, it's a neverending headache.
Made me realize one thing though - my main prio lies in stability.
Now all i want is a platform to run my system at a stable fsb:400 OC linked with memory. SLI/Crossfire - forget it, i game on a CRT anyways, not like i need über res - a single ultra would be supreme, but the g92 gts is a good enough step-up placeholder.
So - rock solid 24/7 1600:1600 stable mb - which one should i get and of which brand? ^^
Should also note i'm willing and quite likely to replace the stock cooling of the mb.
