| Re: Final Build, Please critique :) You keep using the GameXStream.......RIPPLE RIPPLE RIPPLE... a Corsair 520 from Buy.com is cheaper than that GameXStream... and has more amperage on the 12V Rails.. no no on the x38 board.. (edit.. beaten to it..) agreed with Aspire about the TRUE or Tuniq

| Re: Final Build, Please critique :) overpriced.. cheapest one is 235$ or so.. (i don't remember) and overclocking with a p35 board is around the same...

I know two people who just got this board, up from a P5K deluxe @ 3.4Ghz now running stable at 4-4.2ghz. My one friend cranked it to 4.5 ghz and is currently stress testing it. Yes, they are expensive, but what do you expect? its the striker extremes succesor. Yes, the chipset is new, yet extremely stable and showing amazing potential. i realise that most people on site dont recomend the newest, flashiest and inheritly most expensive system, but guys, this is a good board, you should stop bashing it. Yes its outside of most peoples budget, but for people who have no trouble spending that extra dough, hey all the power to you, you wont be dissappointed. Btw get the SE version, more features, a couple dollars more expensive.

| Re: Final Build, Please critique :) This is the first place I've heard people hating on the x38 The formula maximus is one of the best boards out there at the moment for clocking....right up there with the DFI P35-T2R
