spec me a (1366) mobo

bigjimmyauk · 6 Dec 2009 at 16:16

can u spec me a 1366 mobo that will do crossfire for 2 cards @ full 16x by 16x and also have the slots quite far apart so double slot cards will still have room to breath.(seen so many double slot cards fans covered by the other GPU) preference to gigabyte as i can get them cheaper

if u could just tell me a few i can look and decide which seems best (price,value,features)

Dont all X58 mobos do crossfire/SLi at full 16x 16x when using 2 cards??

The Asus P6TD Deluxe, Foxconn Bloodrage and Biostar Tpower X58 has got a larger gap between the PCIe slots than most other boards do.

If you want Gigabyte the the UD3R is pretty much everything most folks need, UD5 for everything else. I have a UD5, several XFX X58's (I got these for £110 each) and an ASUS P6T and they're all much of a muchness to be honest.

like the look of the asus a large double gap between the pci-e slots will come in handy for extra gpu cooling.
thanks for the info
