Confused between FX60 & FX62

[hp7909]

ah ok i see where your coming from, i will go for the on with sli support because i may buy 2 8800's if not im getting 1 now and 1 in the future.

If going down that route, you will DEFINITELY need a beefier PSU like the Enermax Galaxy 1000W

The Asus P5N32 WON'T work with Intel C2D chips!

EDIT: Though the P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe does See here

OMG that has to be the worst paired deal in history then. Here take a look

EDIT: THERE WAS NO LINK JUST LIKE THERE IS NO SPOON

Yeah ive always used enermax and thought i might need a bit of a beast!

I would get rid of that link quick mate.

 

[hp7909]

m8, read the forum rules (here)

EDIT: & its the P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe which should work

 

[Raikiri]

The older SLi boards for intel were very poor overclockers though with relatively slow I/O performance (USB, HDs etc.)

link, what link!! you 2 should stay off the beers

Ok i think this will be my last question (seriously this time )

I have found a asus p5n32 sli deluxe mobo and e6600 for a combined price of £300.

What do you think?

that mobo is crap if you want some decent overclocks mate.

if you're keen on a 6600 and want absolute performance stick with a 975x board or even the nvidia 680i.

Perfect advice. From those 2 options:

The 975 boards are the most stable & reliable boards with the fewest issues as they've been around a while now.

The 680i boards are around the same performance per clock, normally overclock further, have immature bios's & some issues at the moment, but allow SLI.

yeah ive decided to go with the evga 680i and now just deciding about cpu!

 

[Gashman]

why not the highly regarded and well reviewed gigabyte DS3, they overclock well, are a fair wack cheaper than most high-end boards, see thats the thing with intel, bloody expensive boards

LOL just get the E6600 and since ** getting the Ninja Cooler (i think) u will get over 3ghz easy which will beat fx62 and core2duo x6800

Bah, i wasted £50 on an 805 then I got this board FREE about 4 months ago, i couldn't see that it supported C2D, so i stuck an 805 in it just to play about with clocking...

/me goes off to check his bank ballance and to see if anyone wants an 805....
