Well -- I just ordered my FX-55 and two 6800 Ultra PCIe vid cards... Im PUMPED! Now just have to wait on the mobo -- anyone have the latest and greatest on when the nForce4's are coming out? Ive heard 3-4 weeks?

 

Oh, and if anyone's putting one of these together, Id love to hear which case and PS youre using :)

I've heard that the nForce4 boards from MSI are coming out mid-november... how the crap did you get the money for this stuff!?!?!?

LOL -- Im overseas in the Navy... all the extra pay adds up, especially when youre a frequent deployer ;) Oh,and this is my Xmas present to myself for the year!

Whatever you do, make sure that you get a PSU with the new PCI-Ex connector, and the 24 pin mobo connector. Otherwise you may run into problems. There are adapters, but every review I have read says that they still had problems.

Would you happen to have an example?

I would recomend the OCZ 520, is has native 24 pin mobo power and is very stable, the only problim is that 520 may not be enof for a SLI 6800 Ultra, if OCZ releases a 600 that would be nice but otherwise I would look really hard for a big stable PSU, For a 55, nForce3 6800 Ultra the OCZ 520 is perfect, stable and extra for OC ing

Or you could run dual PSU's.

AnandTech has reported about it in various articles reviewing P4 boards with PCI-Ex. I have not looked very hard for a PSU that has these connectors, but I haven't had the need either. You may want to just do a search on AnandTech or Tom's HW to find an example in one of their artciles. I would, but I am using the internet at my local library right now and am time restricted.
