ASUS Striker II Extreme

[slim142]

I am lucky in that both my wife and myself have good jobs. I have two great interests in my life: my PC and my car:

I am at home recovering from a spine operation at the moment so I am very bored, and when i am bored I play games on my PC. Then I see my Crysis frame rates and I want a faster computer!!
BTW Have you seen that the next Intel (Nehalem) chipset will support Crossfire and SLi!!!!

Man, a nice PC and with such car, who isnt happy?
Im hearing so much about X58. It will support SLI but only on 1136 sockets, then that it will support 1366 sockets too. I dont hows this gonna end up yet.

Have you seen those 4870x2 reviews, maybe you won't have to Slim!!

Yeah but Im stuck with a Striker II loooool!
Nehalem sounds promising... I would only need to change motherboard and CPU haha, but I think Im keeping my MB for a couple of years. Will have to see something really impressive to upgrade again.

No, it is a Sport model - sport suspension, body kit etc. I have had the engine remapped to 334BHP. from 274BHP - 506lb/ft torque.

OFFTOPIC! j/k I dont mind this at all

Yes its a very interesting card. It will be great when the reviews come out to see how it scales in crossfire. I am going to stick with my tri-sli until Nehalem- crossfire and sli on the same board - wow!!

I hate that it will all happen on the NF200 chip Grrr... this will make it feel like a 780i (on the SLI side only of course )

Will do!
I can confirm that the EK SB water block will not fit withy the tri-sli (pretty much as we all thought) but the Enzotech seems to fit fine.
One out of three GTX 280 cards fitted with EK block, two to go!!

Tyke
Somebody told me about this block, do you think it will work with Tri-SLI?

I think its 3/8 but anyways, for anybody nsisting on wcing the SB.

U need to wish HARDER

I am!
But seriously my cards are ok, I will change them once GTX 280 go below the $400 mark. Will probably get the BFG single slot so I can have space for sound cards, and maybe a RAID (Ok that is too much dreaming )
