750i thoughts

[ShaQ]

What do you think of this mobo in general?

MSI P7N SLi-Fi 750i 775 PCI-E 1333FSB DDR2 SATAII ATX

Am thinking of getting it for my system, will possibly SLI a 260 later with it. Wont be overclocking much either.

well, if you're going sli, get at least a 780i

I have the ASUS P5N-D 750i

Got it cheap as a b-grade

Works fine for SLI with 2 x 8800 GTS 512. GPUz reports both cards working at PCI-E 16(2.0) and the SLI is a fair be faster than the old 650i it replaced.

I prefer the ASUS as the MSI splits one of the two GPU slots to give 1x16 and 2 x 8 wheras the ASUS is a straight 2x16

The first one I had was a dog but the second has been good so far. Q6600 currently runing at 3.0Ghz @ stock. Did have it up to 3.6 but needed a fair few volts and everything was running far to hot. Didn't run prime for longer than an hour as I was only messing.

Im looking to get this to run a pair of 8800GTX's, does the 2nd card obstruct the SATA ports at all? The GTX is a bit longer than your GTS 512s but how do your cards fit? Id need to use all 4 sata ports

If you can find one get an Evga 750i F.T.W. Supposed to be the best of the 750i SLI boards. No idea what the price is like in comparison to the Asus though.
