Hello all.

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.

Welcome to the Club! ^_^ im an AMD/ATI man myself so ill leave this for the other guys :P

 

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 ;)
