    you have Striker II Extreme?

    can you tell a little about the board temperature?

    i have a P5E3 Deluxe and will change to 790i & SLI.
    Is it really great?

    Let's hope it's less problematic then the Striker Extreme. I'm interested to see if it's integrated WC is any good, or if it's just like the other fuzion systems.

    Memory settings - comparing to X48 boards, there are no memory settings
    CPU temp. readings are okay. See, my CPU is kinda hot, especially when cooled by not fastened at all Intel stock fan.

    The nF790i is looking really good at the moment.
    I'm not getting that excited before I test one out myself... but it's looking definitely better than their previous attempts at it.

    Is the 790i a "red hot chilly pepper" like the 680i or not that much ?

    Is the only difference between the 780i chipset and the 790i chipset other than the latter uses DDR3 and first uses DDR2?

    No, New Chipsets and no Bridge Chip needed and about 100+FSB more than my 780I did before RMA'ing the POS.

    Some peeps above have very short Memories, when Intel Chipsets sucked and Nvidia NF2/3/4 were OC'ing like mad on AMD CPU's
