Gigabyte K8NXP-SLI

[Indy-Go]

Any PROS/CONS on this motherboard? It seemed to get a good rating from reviewers. Haven't heard as of yet "knocks on wood" anything horribly wrong with it. Just wondering if anyone has had any major problems with it at all. Some Topics of concern would be OC'ing, RAM issues, SLI issues, Proprietary (sp?) issues, is it finicky with certain hardware stuff of that nature.

Thank you for your input and time.

This is, statistically speaking, the most purchased SLI mainboard in Australia.
- No joke, feel free to look it up.
- The times may have changed but the ABS should have that recorded.

For the price it is a very nice board.

However.... the only thing I can say that is negative about it is the SLI switch is still manual. Newer nVidia drivers may lessen the importance of this greatly though.

I can not personally vouch for the overclockability, as there are many factors besides the boards, but I hear it does a good job.

- Frankly I think the #1 issue for maximum overclocking is the user / system builder.... then the CPU.... then the mainboard / RAM combo.


I helped someone install a K8N SLI the other weekend, just by coincidence, then saw this thread at the top of the list in Motherboards.


It also helps if you post a link / URL to the Gigabyte.com.tw website, to the exact board you speak of, as many have similar names and even difference revisions of the same board can differ a fair bit.
