barra240t Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Hi everyone. I go by the name Nigel, but I use the screen name barra240t and I am new to the forum and the world of over clocking. Believe it or not, I am a Mac user (since forever) with a 2008 Mac Pro, which is an awesome computer. However, after trying out Windows 7, I am now switching to the "Dark Side" (according to my fellow Mac users) I like the idea of being able to build a computer and do almost anything I want to it. I am fairly competent with computers, I have built PCs for mates and family members in the past, but haven't over clocked. I have done some reading and understand the concept, just haven't got around to doing it yet. I prefer Intel and want to make a SLI machine, so if anyone can recommend some good motherboards, etc. I have been eyeing off the ASUS Striker 2 Extreme for some time, has anyone had any experience with that board? I have included a picture of my current setup for people who cannot believe I am a Mac user. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SenitaL Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Welcome to the Club! ^_^ im an AMD/ATI man myself so ill leave this for the other guys But from what i know the first striker extreme was plagued with problems, i think the new one should be fine though. Id stick with something from the RoG (Republic of gamers) as they have some sweet motherboards, but thats just me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
