I'm getting this very board tomorrow and will be trying it out with an i3
i eventually (in January) plan to try 2x 8800gt's in SLI with a i7 870...
hope it handles Quads at high bclk's as well as they say it does...and not just the i5 750...
wish there were more reviews with them overclocking a full i7 with the 8 threads as that's clearly the only reason i would go to such a high-phased motherboard over something simpler like the UD2...
then again Full 8x and 8x SLI doesn't hurt in fact 8x and 8x MINIMUM should be standard on all these supposed "crossfire supported" mini atx boards...
this 16x + a b.s.4x slot stuff has gotta stop...i mean talk about cutting corners (eg ud2h, usb3 etc)
it can't even really truly be remotely called crossfire then...
maybe half-ass fire...lol
not if you're sacrificing half the bandwidth anyway...
thanks for the review - nice to hear good news just before i give this 1156 stuff a try...
