what kind of fps you getting on crysis? and what setting are you playing it on? excellent choice of mobo, I was considering one also. everything looks great

Crysis sucks balls.

If you have a g0-step q6600, you can OC that to an easy 3.6GHz on most air setups. Mine's @ 3.96GHz stable on air-only w/ a good lap on the heatsink and processor.

Crysis runs @ 31fps on very High with anti aliasing turned off. which is Amazing lol. I'm happy with the mobo for now, though i still wish i would have gotten the Asus maximus, its big jump in price, but This board where they say its supports crossfire doesn't really. It Only does 1 x16pci-e and the "other" x16 is only @x1 or x4. This doesn't work well with crossfire at all, I had 2 HD3870s but they wouldn't work well with crossfire at all, so i took them back and got the 3870x2. The only thing i can say negative about this card yet, is it runs a tad on the warm side so Upgrading the cooling fans is going to be a must, Just waiting to see who comes out with a good cooler for it since it has 2 cores not just 1.

Yea I can bump mine up more, Just haven't done it yet, debating on doing liquid cooled, but not sure if i want to deal with the hassle of it, so for now 3.2ghz is fast enough :) And Crysis doesn't suck though i was sorta annoyed how short of a game it was, i'm sure there are going to be addons though

The game engine was a huge failure. The physics engine was nice... but too bad it's such a resource hog. The game's terribly short. The online play is absolutely retarded because EVERYONE cheats. The game's variables, such as damage of weapons, ammo, movement speeds, etc. are all client-side so a simple opening of notepad and you can be a god in online play. Simply retarded.

this is true, its hard to play because people do cheat a lot online, I still play counter strike online with friends so i only play on crysis online a few times. Though you can still find servers with people who don't cheat.
