Nice day to you lads

I have a question regarding this MOBO
I'm ordering it right now with Corsair DIMM 4096MB DDR II 1066MHz TWIN2X4096-8500C5DF 2x [ so 8192 MB ]
Core 2 Quad 9550
3x WD Velociraptor
2x Radeon 4870 from Sapphire

PSU will be TAGAN 700W that with Rock pipe cables or whatever is that plug&shock technology called

From your point of view will i run intro problems ?
I'm just a mild OCer and the only thing that i will do is the FSB on that quad will go from 8.5 * 333 to 8.5 * 400

Thanks

I'm scary for the raptors mate there are rumours that they could be issues with this board...secondly if you are only into a mild OC, why not opt for the 9450, will save ya big cash and it's only 200mhz less then the 9550 at the same FSB...and to compensate you could always go for 425FSB with the Q9450... and the money you save you can invest in ya ram... I don't own Corsairs but I can do tell that Gskill and Muskins work fab on this mobo...

I would start with one raptor there and if it all works out for ya buy another one or two... but I think it's overkill... eg the new terrabyte drives are pretty fast too... I love my new Samsung F1 1Tb drive...

Just my 2 cents...
