We will have to hook up on TS so I can ask you some more questions. Do you want to get that board up and running again? Since you told me that it ran good with the E8500 I would say but am not positive (never am positive about electronics LOL) that the board is ok but maybe you needed to update the Bios to use the Quad. If you want we can troubleshoot the thing and I will help any way I can.   

Ginger,
    To answer your question about getting a new MB -- I referred you to the MB in my previous post due to Monkey saying that you would want to run your 2 9800's in SLI. If you would rather run your 4890 or any AMD Cards with your rig than I would suggest another board for you. Just let me know what you would like to run and we can go from there.

To answer your question about the 750 FTW Board you will have to give me more details about your problems with the rig. I do know that particular board sometimes had issues playing nicely with certain memory. let me know if the system ever ran right and what kind of symptoms it had and we can go on from there.

Glad to be of help.   

   Ginger,
    BadMonkey said you were interested in a MB for your rig that you wanted to run your 9800's in SLI. The above post has my suggestion for a MB off of the Hardware Specs that BadMonkey gave me earlier. If you would could you please reply with your Hardware and if you would like to Oc at all. Thanks in advance and will chat with you soon.     

LOL -- Ok, I will ask her. If the hardware list you gave me earlier is indeed what she has and she does want to run her 9800's in SLI than this is the board I would try.     http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=13-131-636&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&Pagesize=10&PurchaseMark=&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&VendorMark=&IsFeedbackTab=true&Page=2#scrollFullInfo   I will get in touch with her though.   

,
   Could you please give me a list of what she has like you did for your system. Thanks bud. 

LOL I laughed all the way through that thing along with playing air guitar and looking like I was in the Mosh Pit :) All I could do was picture all of us back in game Hoots and you doing the Choppa thing and me laughing so hard I couldn't breath or see where I was running to. Nice find BadMonkey.

BadMonkey,
   I have to tell ya that if i was in the market for a new MB with your hardware the Crosshair IV Formula would be my choice hands down. The feature's you receive at that price point is hard to beat and it looks really bada** as well :) Important feature's like 42 PCIe lanes and 11 Ports/Engines will let your GPU/GPU's breathe with ease. I prefer Chipsets without graphics and this one fits that category. 8+2 Phase CPU Power is nice if you want to overclock that Phenom II. Also, the NB, SB and Mosfet Heatsinks on this board work nicely. You can go on and on about the feature's of this board but all in all I think you would greatly enjoy putting this bad boy in your HAF-X. One thing to note is this board only comes with One Bios which isn't exactly a big thing but wanted you to keep that in mind. The only time that would be an issue is if you were flashing the Bios and for some reason due to power outage (don't know if you have an ups) you bricked the board. Now to answer your question about this board lasting you for a long long long time --- the answer to that would be unless you want to upgrade your entire rig at some point in the near future this board will hold you over at least a couple years. Just keep in mind that the new tech will be upon us shortly but unless you have enough funds to build a new rig than I would not be hesitant to grab this board and you looking like it is Christmas Morning all over again.

BadMonkey,
   I would need a list of all other hardware you currently have so I can suggest a MB for ya.

        Hope you have a Great Day and have lots of cake to keep you strong during the frag-time. Maybe you will see me right before you die      

Hey Greenibeanie -- Hope you are alright and have began recovery. I don't think I know you but I wish you all the best. I had a herniated disk in my neck and had to have surgery to fix it but I regained pretty much all my feeling back. Luck my friend. Dragon

I wanted to wish the FWE Gang and their families a   "HAPPY NEW YEAR"        

I wanted to wish the FWE Gang and their families a Safe and Happy Holiday Season!! 

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

Hey Neon,
   Glad Ontime showed you the links to the fans that I helped him with awhile back. I would be happy to help you with the selection of fans for your set-up. It would be best if we get together on TS and that way I can see exactly what you need and then we can connect with the links and decide from there. I am on my way to bed since I have gotten like no sleep all week    and I have to get up @ 4:30 to go to work tomorrow. We will hook up sometime tomorrow evening and hammer this stuff out. I know of  some really Fans that are Green LED if that's what you want. We will talk tomorrow.

C'Ya
Dragon

Hey neon,
   60c is not hot at all for that card. If you are seeing artifacts it is not because of the temps. If you have the card overclocked faster than the specs at purchase that would be my guess as to why you have artifacts. If you bought an OC'd card and have not OC'd it any further than I would say do an exchange. Are you seeing artifacts in game? Just remember that OC'ing any GPU is a crap shoot. They don't all OC the same.      If I can help in any way please let me know. Did you get an EVGA? Where did you purchase it from?

Hey Hoots ~~ How's that card runnin?      Did you get 1 or 2 of those?       Just wanted to touch base with ya.       

I would have posted in the original topic but it was Locked LOL
