Hi there ,i,m always reading about different Chipsets on motherboards and which is the better between the nForce 570 SLI & nForce 650i SLI ? and what is the best for the Intel CPU 775 ? :confused:

650i is the next generation on from the 570i. If you want overclocking then you need the 650i as the 570i boards only clock the FSBs in the mid-350's whereas the 650i boards are said to clock into the early 500's.

Where are the 650i motherboards?

They're not out yet as far as I'm aware.

I would prefer to order from OcUK too, but if they don't have it and I need a board....

I bought mine on a credit card. If it doesn't turn up, or turns up broken or anything else it's the credit card company that takes the hit, not me.

And the fact that OcUK don't have the board on pre-order would suggest they have no immediate plans to stock the board.

Yeah thats my worry to order from a company I never heard of before, but I guess since at least 3 or 4 people seem to have gotten their boards and they do work I will just have to bite the bullet and order it from another retailer.

Wonder how support will work if the board ever break, guess it should be possible to "speak" directly with Asus if need be. Hopefully this will be somethign I dont have to do.

At least all the rest of the parts I will order from OCuk as I have to say its one of the best if not the best retailer in the UK.
