Post Rating:
Posted by: CodyAlright so Im making a review on a board I have just purchased in a combo deal I have recieved a 4800x2 the board and 2 gigs ram for 139.99 on tigerdirect..
The boards normally 90.00 but for 90.00 it packs a huge bang for the buck
This board supports Hybrid SLI which is compatible with the select few video cards
GeForce GTX 280, GeForce 9800 GX2, GeForce GTX 260, GeForce 9800 GTX+, GeForce 9800 GTX, GeForce 9800 GT, GeForce 8500 GT, GeForce 8400 GS
For those of you not knowing what Hybrid SLI does it links your onboard video with your card giving you a boost in performance'
http://www.nvidia.com/object/hybrid_sli_desktop.html <-- will provide you with more information about hybrid SLI and by clicking the learn more button in the flash it even shows a demonstration how using hybrid 8200 with a 8400gs increased video quality in cod4 by a whole 20 fps!
I highly reccomend this board to anybody due to its built in overclocking features for you hardcore gamers out there, also due to its amazing design and with onboard heatpipe cooling for the bridges this board is built to last.

Sounds insane clown,I`m running a Tri-Core Phenom II 720 on my boardwith a Gelid Spirit cooler on it. 30.00 and i run 26 degree celcius idle temps. for 40.00 you can get a heatsink called the dark knight. check it out. reviews on it are phenomenal
Great board, I have run 3 different processors, all overclocked adjusting a lot of things in the BIOS. Unfortunately I have burned up 2 boards to this point, the 2nd because I did not know what voltage CPU the board could handle, come to find out it`s only 95w CPU`s, didn`t much like my 125w. :P
The double lifetime warranties XFX offers on their boards is awesome.
Currently I have an Athlon 64 X2 5000 Overclocked to 3000mhz (15x multiplier) with no extra cooling (using a socket 939 CPU fan at that).
FEEL..THE FUNK!
Ive had it longer than a day, Ive had it since friday this review was posted monday I believe.
In your "review" you state you just got this board today and your already writing a review about it on the same day? Why not give yourself 24-48hrs with it then review your experience with it rather then your first impression.
