hi mate, can you tell me some info???

overclocking ability?? cpu and mem??
clr cmos, is this via a button on the RIVF or jumpers?
Audio (may not be the man to ask on this one) i believe the RIVF has the same chip as my MPower, so its ok, but what about the RIVE(currently using essence stx but may have to sell to fund the change)

most gfx i will EVER run is 2 cards and i will only ever fill 4 mem slots.
both have enough ports.

and any other info you can give.
And what memory would you recommend(if your allowed to!! :) ) was looking at the tridents which i can get at a good price.
HYNIX the way to go??

THX
 
Both are great boards. On ambient cooling the Formula will do as well for you as the xtreme.

My Formula clocks RAM and CPU great and yes it has a reset CMOS button on the I/0 panel.

As for memory all depends on budget. My current favourite 16gb kit is Team Xtreme 2600mhz kit on this platform. Tunes up better than Corsair Dom plats which are also good. These are both Hynix IC.

GSKILL PSC are king of benching on x79 and Trident X or PSC on Z77.
 
These look nice [ RipjawsZ ] F3-19200CL8Q-8GBZHD

Edit. ^ like rocking horse ....

But these i can get RipjawZ F3-19200CL9Q-16GBZMD, had a go on them??

I have tried the top option. They are great!!!

The bottom ones I have not had a go with. I use PSC for my X79 Benching at the mo.

The bottom ones will be good though they are GSKILL!! They will be good!!!
