Nice man! I love those backplates AMD puts on their high end cards. No SuperPi 32M numbers? :D

What's that CPU gadget showing your core activity called?

Nice. I wish windows gadgets looked as good as some of the rainmeter gadgets though. Those are awesome.

Nice setup! I overclocked my 680 a little bit and was able to pull P10800 in 3DMark11. My old WCed, overvolted, and highly overclocked 470 only managed 6500 on a good day!

Really? I'm rocking an Asrock and it has worked fine for me. Granted, the first one I received was messed up but the RMA that replaced it has been 100% rock solid. I don't really OC at the moment so they may not be good at that. I can't confirm nor deny that at this time. :D

Either way, your rig is looking nice there Mikey.

Bingo. I've never had a DOA board from Asus, Gigabyte, or MSI. I bought a Biostar board last time and I won't be doing it again. I'll be sticking to the big three.

Intel makes the most stable boards but they are very conservative with OCing.

Yeah, 680's don't scale well right now in SLI. We are only on the launch driver though, so I'm sure there is a lot of tweaking for nvidia to do.

It wasn't DOA but it did require replacement. Anywho, that's besides the point. I had to replace the mobo because I got a short on the USB bus which messed it up enough to cause complete instability. This was caused by my case not allowing the io rear panel to sit properly and that caused improper grounding. Thanks a lot NZXT Phantom :mad:.

I believe that's the one the BMW design group worked on.
