    CPU: AMD X3 720BE@ 3,4Ghz
    Cooler: Xigmatek S1283(Terrible mounting system for AM2/3)
    Motherboard: Gigabyte 790FXT-UD5P(F4) RAM: 2x 2GB OCZ DDR3 1600Mhz Gold 8-8-8-24

    I'm not sure if I'm going to make the transition for a while. If the Foxconn Blood Rage is as good as the Black Ops then I will make the plunge. I'm also interested in seeing if what EVGA come up with if anything.

    Well assuming our dollar bounces back to at least 0.75USD, Foxconn for me. However it things remain the same, I'm going to sit tight.

    I have 4 of them and best stable with great performance is Asus P6T Deluxe, but is not good for OCing QPI ... higher QPI then 140MHz = freez, best mobo for OCing QPI is Gigabyte X58 UDP, MSI has many problems with compatibility of RAM and Ocing is impossible at all.

    i965 Extreme + Asus best choice of Ocing with multiplier and super great performance, for i940 and i920 is best choice Gigabyte ... i am here stable at QPI 170MHz + Turbo mode = i920 @ 3,6GHz Prime stable.

    You are referring to the base clock, and not the QPI. QPI = QPI multiplier x base clock.

    None for me as I won't be upgrading for at least 8 months but if I would Gigabyte would be my choice cuz of UD3.
    Intel? Core i5-4670K @ 4.3 GHz | ASRock Extreme6 Z87 | G.Skill Sniper 2x8GB @ DDR4-1866 CL9 | Gigabyte GTX 970 OC Windforce 3x | Super Flower Titanium 1000W | ViewSonic VX2268wm 120Hz LCD | Phanteks PH-TC14PE | Logitech MX-518 | Win 7 x64 Professional | Samsung 850 EVO & 840 Pro SSDs

    If all people would share opinions in an objective manner, the world would be a friendlier place

    QFT. This computer lasts me a while. I'll add to the SSD array and add drives to the RAID 6 and upgrade the GPU, but other than that it's fixed for a couple years.

    Evga, has the best boards to overclock on. And step-up, advance RMA, What could go wrong?
    My Rig can do EpicFLOPs, Can yours?
    Once this baby hits 88 TeraFLOPs, You're going to see some serious $@#%....
