[HewingEnterprise]

Nice Elvis impersonation :D

[Auwomann1]

ära bra än idag?

[Alv4]

how tall are those fins? will it fit a large heatsink?

[sabharwal2]

I need help, can I put two different kinds of ram on the ram slots? For exampl for this motherboard, have two 2gb dual channel in the grey slots and two 1gb in the black slots for a total of 6gb of ram. I'm pretty sure it possible but just wana make sure, please reply

[mstrx21]

@sabharwal2 its possible,but make shure you put the dual channel one into the right slot and put the single or tri chanel one in the right place.

[theMrpanini]

I was have this motherboard but dont like xD

[azraaell]

i have this board, bought it from tigerdirect, why does it crash under load when a 2nd grfx card is installed in bottom slot when its suposed to handle 3?

[TheSoulja99boy]

I have this motherboard

[nicholaschean]

Does anyone know where to buy nforce 790i beside ebay pls. I really appreciate it. Ty

[LordByron08]

Are all motherboards the same size?

[EdHellMaster]

Hello, i have a question, i have my mother which is PCI Express x16 1.0a and i want to buy an Ati Radeon HD 5450 ddr2 1GB 2.1, will it work anyway in my PCI Express slot?...thanks you.

[ShitakeStudios]

i got this from alienware 2 years ago. ran awesome with a 980x but when i added another card to expand it didnt work so i got mad. :( then i just built another one.

[JoshuaDDownes]

@ShitakeStudios a socket 775 board worked well with a socket 1336 and it worked fine for a while... But it stopped working when you added a video card?

Is there something I'm not getting?

[ShitakeStudios]

@JoshuaDDownes yea i just noticed this isnt the same motherboard. :| fail comment is fail.

[Sam737loverfsx]

Does it support the intel core i7 980x extreme edition ?

[Thegta4Fans]

@Sam737loverfsx i dont think so i7 is 2010 cpu and this motherboard is 2008

[steven4570]

@Sam737loverfsx nope, look for a socket 1366 x58 board if you want to run the i7 900 series

[omgoprah]

is this good if i just bought 4x2gb ram 2x gtx 460's and put a amd phenom ii x6 core processor and slapped it into a case with like a 700w psu and some fans?also if i buy this board would it come with the bridge for my 460s?

[PCTechTalks]

@omgoprah you have an am3 socket processor, this is a lga 775 board.  it will not work.

[SerzantasLTU]

have this for a long time and its that damn good :) . I reached 4.2 ghz with my e8400 and could went higher but decited not to risk and got myself a q9450 :).the only problem with this motherboard when your overclocking is cooling.chipset reaches preaty high temps like over 70 degress C.not to mention i have costom cooling on this the fan thats included is crap its loud and its pontless.still recommend this board.

[anuthehigh]

I can't wait till the day MB can use all Mem slots and run at max speeds, things would be so much faster.

[GoerdingscapePK]

XFX and Nvidia had a great partnership... made alot of great boards and cards... Though the new ones are a bit low performing and expensive...

But that board was the bomb esspecially with the e6550 and a 8x Series SLI config.

[Quidinar12]

I wish it would be for am3!



[BKsMassive]

i wish Nvidia made Mother boards still...

[TheRenzer9]

@BKsMassive u r a PC nooblet ... dude NVIDIA is from INTEL..and INTEL just released his DP55KG Extreme motherboard which i m using...so ofcourse NVIDIA makes motherboards as INTEL....and let me inhance ur knowledge abit more that ATI is from AMD..noob !!

[BKsMassive]

@TheRenzer9

your calling me a noob? and you think Nvidia is from intel? LMAO!

your a fucking retard! this motherboard is Nvidia's! the only thing on it is the Intel 775 Socket.

FUCKING RETARD!

[TheRenzer9]

@BKsMassive Dick head Bitcher ...if XFX is soo from intel then why the fuck XFX is supporting ATI graphics cards ??? now checkout ATI XFX cards.. Now dont fucking tell me that ATI is too from NVIDIA and not from AMD..or u can also tell me that ATI and NVIDIA has now become one...or u can now also suck by chance that this motherboard is not from XFX.... oh cmon beat it chimp !!!

[BKsMassive]

@TheRenzer9

So intel owns XFX? LMAO! your such a fucking dumb prick. you fucking suck dig for the bus fare home. TWAT!

THIS BOARD IS MOTHER FUCKING NVIDIA! CHECK ON THERE FUCKING WEBSITE PRICK! nFORCE IS FUCKING NVIDIA!

PRICK!!!!

[TheRenzer9]

@BKsMassive BITCHER U URSELF GONNA SAY THAT INTEL OWNS XFX I DID NOT SAID ANYTHING LIKE THAT U CUNT..... NVIDIA IS FROM INTEL BITCHER AND ATI IS FROM AMD ...and forget that intel gives the graphics chip to NVIDIA u ass hole !!!! MOTHER FUCKER U R JUST SOME KIND OF CHIMP OWNING A PENTIUM 1...SO OFCOURSE HOW CAN I EXPECT FROM U THAT U GONNA KNW SO MUCH ABT COMPUTERS !!!

[lillyyoshi123456]

@TheRenzer9 Nvidia does not come from Intel you stupid fucker. Go back to xbox you little child and let the big boys do the computer work.

[TheRenzer9]

@lillyyoshi123456 ohh look right here i got something for u ,,I,,

[lillyyoshi123456]

@TheRenzer9 Haha obvious retort from a crap-box player.

[DakkonDS]

@TheRenzer9 you are soooooo dumb. Nvidia is its own company. XFX does both ATI and Nvidia GPUs. Intel has a partnership with Nvidia once again as they were in court trying to fight out a dispute. AMD owns ATI. thats the only main connection you could make. perhaps you should ask your mommy and daddy how the real word works. OR. you could always go back to the FAILBOX 360 and play your COD like i good retard child. OH. and l2S

[TheRenzer9]

@DakkonDS FUCK OFF !!

[DakkonDS]

@TheRenzer9 you mad? must be. when one is soooo good at failing. i would be mad as well. oh well :D learn to do research you noob.

[jetpack1986]

@BKsMassive they would've continued if intel didn't started to fuck with nvidia and frankly couldn't blame intel because of the cuda technology allowing the gpu to do all the shit while cpu remains idle which awfully dropped the market value of intel cpus in general! but yeah I really wish for nvidia to come back too, with a new CPU not only mobos!

[XFXFORCE13]

@BKsMassive good thing i still have this motherboard

[MERCENARYVII]

@BKsMassive same here I had this board and it was a beast overclocked my q9550 to 4Ghz easily now i running with the gigabyte p67 UD5 but I would go out and buy a nivdia motherboard tomorrow for my Core i5 2500k if they made a p67 or Z68

[BUTTABALLA999]

@BKsMassive This board was made by XFX, not nVidia.

[sleepindark]

naah rampage is the only way to go!!

[maxlen234]

its so cool but 500 bucks for a motherboard?

[345jakeman]

@maxlen234 It cost about $200 now

[Tofu64Vagine]

@maxlen234 500? wtf you could get a asus sabortooth with tri sli/crossfire like this for cheaper or an x58 board from evga or asus

[maxlen234]

@bayandsl i dont know how you call them in english but i think theyre for gaming partys

[bayandsl]

why there are two gigabit port? i know one i use on dsl connection and what about the other one?

[scottman12]

@bayandsl u can upload with one and download with the other speeds things up alot

[apocax666]

buenas alguien me podria decir como limpiar el socket de esta tarjeta madre "790i" ya que le cayo un poco de pasta termica dentro del socket :(

[khrizer16]

$ <--- here's my problem .. 

[Disinf3ctant]

@khrizer16

Wanna buy mine? I want to get X58 because I need 24Gb RAM for video editing. I'll give it to you for $200 AUS

[jonathan999888]

@khrizer16 You right about that!

[vistacomputerwiz]

@khrizer16 get a job

[ieatpeas24]

I hope this one is better than the xfx 750i board i have ... mine is hanging above my tech bench to remind me what wasted money looks like .. and if your looking for a RMA from xfx support when something goes wrong ... it only took them 4 months so i hope your no in a hurry

[using192]

@ieatpeas24 D:

[TheMrVogue]

@lsnyders It's fuckin' cheap if you buy it in today's market... With all this i7 shit, you can get a used one for around $60-80 ;)

[chriscolumbo323]

that red sata connection is a e-sata i think for internal one for a case that has a e-sata connection on the front of it

[MistaSL]

@chriscolumbo323 I think as well

[jsanford91]

man.. I wish I could work there, it looks so fun haha

[darkgamerdave]

so can i put an intel core 2 quad Q6600 socket 775 cpu in this?

[thegreyvingian]

@darkgamerdave yes.

[darkgamerdave]

@thegreyvingian thanks

[1AppleMaker]

Logan is so violent.

[Virginityrocks]

intense

[azraaell]

where do i get an internal spdif cable for my xfx 790i mobo to my gtx 260??

[BKsMassive]

Nvidia PLEASE! make a new Nforce board for the new Sndy Bridge i7's! :D

[ThePsychoCrusher89]

are nvidia's mobos good? I find they are kinda cheap though.

[Deathz0r94]

newegg.com/Product/ProductList­.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=­BESTMATCH&Description=nForce+7­90i&x=0&y=0

[RafaRoic]

does it support SSD?

[Disinf3ctant]

@RafaRoic

it supports everything =P

[kohno71]

hey can you guys tell me whats dots "SLI" means?

[Deathz0r94]

@kohno71 Scalable Link interface I believe, it combines two or more gpu's into one for better graphics processing

[kohno71]

@Deathz0r94 thx,and can u tell me if i get this motherboard, where do i install my sound card?

[Deathz0r94]

@kohno71 Is it PCI or PCI-E X1?

[N00B283]

@kohno71 sli mean its really calld slis (sick light is shitty) XD

[CaptianObviousIII]

8:07 lol

[roxxas5]

Can you use Ati cards (Crossfire) with the motherboard?

[PCTechTalks]

they need this guy back on tigerdirect. he is so hilarious.

[basbas63]

zomg my mobo only has 2 sata 2 ports

[RaZee3D]

would this work with sli gtx 260 and an i5 650 because that what i am looking at getting with this boardc if it works

[MistaSL]

@RaZee3D Facepalm...i5 with this??

[neonzion7]

@RaZee3D no lol if your asking such a stupid question then you shouldnt be building a system at all....

[LouNGeR83]

Stable huh? Well not if it's Asus using it on their Striker II Extreme...

4 days (years) straight, crashing, sweet!

[synonix]

Had frequent crashing problems during the lifetime of this board ( 1/2 years ) This Mobo died on me yesterday, the entire back panel of USB/ports is now malfunctioning. The computer will not boot with any USB/ethernet plugged in. In fact, my Logitech 518 mouse got fried just by being plugged in to this board.

[drubah33]

i miss logan sooo much. no homo

[ChoppahWhore]

i was surprised it was 775 socket lol

[thereddog223]

Its an old commercial. 

[neonzion7]

@ChoppahWhore why? it was posted 2 years ago

[gameswindows]

XFX? is a toy.

Asus & Gigabyte RULEZ!

Asus Republic of Gamer!

Gigabyte Ultra Durable 3! Rulez

[AznUnboxer]

classic logan!

[Str8playa187]

shittiest motherboard i ever had and i changed 3

shitty board shitty company

[Stefan120792]

What's the Name of the Soundtrack on the Background?

[krille757]

"playing with it on the table" who plays with their motherboard on the table??? lol

[hornerable]

i got evga p55sli and i5 750 for just under 400 bucks

[dagenhamcrew]

back in early 2008 this was the Best Great Motherboard, and now it's all old news you could easly pick one up from ebay around $70 maybe cheaper. it's all i5,i7 and newer processors now Times have changed alot now this was expensive Board at the Time but now it's kinda lame old but still can use good Gear on it now but OLD

[metal4life68]

How outdated is now?

[TelisRafa]

not too much ....for a 9650cpu or 9660cpu ...is just great and you can get

3way sli

ddr3 ram

4ghz with oc and the 9650..

great rig afterall

[tallandme13]

@metal4life68 mabey 10% slower than i7. If you can find it- its the better buy

[metal4life68]

thanks

[Dp1337]

its still fairly competitive, but the i7 platform is much better.

[rolax49]

lolzzz punch

[14shawn]

y do u need to LAN ports??

[Urtaget]

3:53 He says: 6 SATA Ports in total?

As far as i know there is another SATA port @ 4.04? It's red, just a bit of the middle, correct me if i'm wrong?

[flipicaneze]

That's actually an eSATA port for front eSATA connection.

[Urtaget]

@flipicaneze

ok thank you

[filletheking95]

what a good sli memory?? can i juse any corsir dominatro for sli or what?? plzz respond

[SkodaMart]

@gamer1337omg EVGA P55 FTW, blows this out of the water! It is more stable and better value too. I 'endured' 2 780i boards and I am glad to see the back of them! P55 For The Win!

[DeadBikesCorp]

can u use quad sli on this board ...like 2x 9800gx2 ^^

[SaludaUser]

@DeadBikesCorp yes you can and still have room for a physx card

[SkodaMart]

@DeadBikesCorp Yes, as long as your OS supports it, XP doesn't

[DeadBikesCorp]

thanks for the information i have windows 7 i think it can do it

[BIackJackProductions]

it only has 3 PCIe slots, so No

[samuelscott100]

you can have quad sli on 2 PCIe slots, Dual graphic cards

[madebarriere]

yes, with a gtx 295, 9800GX2 =)

[bobslive1]

@BIackJackProductions yes you can 2x 295

[vampirehunter33]

I don't like NVIDIA i have a NVIDIA chipset on my mother board . the onboard sound messed up. and went for a soundcard . Creative pop pop static crack sounds. talked to a guy from turtle beach soundcards . So the information I am getting is you can not run a soundcard with NVIDIA . because NVIDIA causes problems with sound cards

[nameloc1000]

what the fuck are you talking about i run a nvidia v card and a sound card and my comp works fine

[vampirehunter33]

The pci bus on nvidia nForce 4 motherboards cause static pops . peak holdoffs of up to 2 milliseconds in some cases. The chipset behavior is beyond the ability of a hardware audio accelerator to compensate for in its internal buffering .

If you have gotten a soundcard to work with a nvidia can you tell me what card brand etc. Because I have tried several and none work

[azndotkidz]

is a asus rampage ll extreme better than this?

[xb4b1x]

this board rules ! :P if i wasnt getting the MSI version of it id get this :P only gettin MSI cos it comes wi a sound card :O

this guy is also gr8 at selling em :D

[metall1carulezzyou]

how many euro's is this thing? O.O

[flame142]

Will it work with i5?

[jackc155]

no, this is a socket 775 mobo

[flame142]

didn't think so. thanks

[jackc155]

anytime man

[SeanGE]

@sumcputechnician

In games, perhaps. But in everything else 1156 and 1366 shit on 775. Hell, in some benchmarks 1156 shits on 1366, lol.

[sumcputechnician]

Thats the beauty of this board with the 3 sli and a core 2 quad it can compete with any lga1156 only thing diffrent is SATA 6gbps and usb 3.0 and thats only in the high end lga1156 motherboards lga1366 thats way better but alot more money.

[adirtyeeb]

thats a fucking scary board!

[Samoli00098]

what do you do with 2 gigabyte ethernet ports?

[shgjlsfg]

to show off, duh

[mhaneline]

Hook up to two networks. Maybe you want to connect to your router with one, and a home NAS with the other.

[Gin132456]

in and out for faster speeds

[alextrubin]

i have evga 790i ultra and during a lightning storm one of my Ethernet ports burned out , thank god i have a spare one!!

[ihatejimmy]

Wow what was I thinking when i wrote that.. I meant to say "is there board like this one thats not tri-sli (just dual) with DDR3?"

[TrueGamer1987]

no, there isn't; it's the only mobo that supports dd3+775 socket

[ihatejimmy]

Thank you for that response. I think I'm just going to wait til i9 processors come out next quarter so the i7 prices will come down and I can build a 1366 socket rig making my PC a little more future proof. That is unless anyone else has heard anything about the 1156 being their primary socket...

[ihatejimmy]

Where can I get a board like this withou Triple SLi (just SLi) thats just as stable with all the sexy features of this one (ddr3, lots of sata ports)

[IBlueNinjaI]

Dont get this car now. its 1.5 year ago.. get a new socket like 1156 :D

[demondrumer]

wat good computer hardware etailer ships international ????

[bigdima3]

the good thing is that this mobo is 120 pounds and less ,, very sad cuz a year ago i would cut one of my legs off to get this mobo

[boonpaLindved]

lame !

[chri475r]

can you run gainward 275gtx and gainward 260gtx in sli?

[panteranutt]

No...

[TikiShootah]

no idea i hear its shaky territory if oyur not running identical card in SLI. Just what i heard tho

[jumpingshadow1]

NO!!!!

[popothecatathome]

lame

[kidowner]

im gonna get this with my amd cpu!

(i know, im joking coz this isnt an amd board:P)

[richardkensington]

weellll amd is cheaper and thats what you get...intel is worth the money spent along with nvidia

[kidowner]

but i7 is way overpriced

[richardkensington]

nnnnnnot if your getting a 920, i think its the same price as the 955 black ed. if not its like 20 bucks more...

[richardkensington]

965* and its $30 dollars more

[kidowner]

sorry but i dont live in america/canada thats we dont have low prices. the core i7 920 is 365euro!!!! aka $533!!!

[richardkensington]

ah thats gay :/ you cant shop at like new egg? or anywhere like that

[TikiShootah]

newegg is horrible once it hits you with the shipping cost. thats where tigerdirect seems to rock.

[richardkensington]

i find that to be very true lol anything over $100 and under 30 lbs.= free shipping :D

[no1Reality]

@kidowner

not Way!.But little-yes!

[Georgefromaccounting]

@kidowner yea. thats why the new 790i are like the h55 and p55 mobos.

[thereddog223]

No its not.

[kidowner]

@thereddog223 erm to what comment did u reply that?

[dchains]

@kidowner It's only overpriced because you can't afford it. lol

[kidowner]

@dchains lol. i cant afford. but a 365euro for a core i7 920 is a bit much right?

thats = to 465dollars. with that price u would buy a much more better processor

[EclipseEDM]

That really depends. Youll get more for the money if you go for AMD.

[richardkensington]

not really its the same...its just one is better with one things then the other is really the case and for the dumb ass's that gave me thumbs down on the prices..your all fucking stupid i checked those prices FROM newegg frigging noobs

[jumpingshadow1]

HI all 1 Question!

This board(XFX 790i ultra) or The MSI P55-GD65 (intel core i5)!

Please reply fast!

[CoveTheMsiMaster]

XFX 790i ultra

[joethehacker4life]

very informative but you missed out the most single important thing how much ram does this support ?

[worldj93]

I heard you can run ddr2 ram in a ddr3 mobo is that true?

[z1pfL]

no.

[djscooby]

no.

[jumpingshadow1]

NO!

[noooooooooam]

no lol

[skunksmash]

sack that guy, he does the board NO FAVORS!!

[pernir2007]

this guy is terrible he is quoting other guys. bragging about if he gets a discount and doesn't know shit about the hardware and then he touch's it!!!
