so where would be the best place to sell them then? would the bay be any good?

cheers for the reply.

I had one of those boards when they were launched and sent it back in less than a week. Terrible board. Stick it on the bay.

NF650i is not very good with a quad so don't go and buy another 650i based board as you will likely have similar results.

as stated nF650i SLI isn't good for fsb overclocking quads - the highest that you will get on any is 3.0-3.2GHz & it will take serious voltages to get there.

If you want to fsb overclock a quad get a P35/P45/X48.

Depends on how much you want to spend really. Anything from Asus/Gigabyte/DFI with a P35/P45 would do the job. If you wanted to go crossfire with the new ATI cards then X38/X48 boards.

cheers for the advice pastymuncher. as i have 8800gts i think i will go for p35 or p45 board cheers mate.
