i hope i can get some numbers close to some of those.. i don't have any to post on a i5 yet but i am getting so close.. i need some ddr3, thinking about the trident 2x2gb 2000... i am looking at the evga p55 ftw cpu area and they have holes on it for 775 and also the i5.. does anybody know if i can i use my v2 with 775 pro mount on this board without any issues? i know i can find out by trying it but i am using it right now on my maximus se. one thing nice is i will be able to eliminate my nb loop off my cpu for this new board..
