Rockmore, since when Hiper (you spelled it wrong btw) PSU are very reliable ?? Those are known to be crappy bling boxes.

Real good powersupplies would be Seasonic, PCP&C, Fortron and Corsair. I wouldn't touch any Hiper with a 10-foot pole and it's strange you spend lots on money on your rig and skimp on the PSU...

I won't answer any of your comments, especially the forced obsolence of the board. It make sense when we know Intel will release the DX38BT board to replace the D975XBX2 to better support the new Penryn. Mine runs well but is already at his limits with my Q6600 so running at 1333 may not be comfortable for Intel engineers. If you are not happy with Intel's strategies, why buy this board ??
