Looks good, do you think it is a good buy to over clock 2500k?

Sandybridge overclocking is more dependent on the CPU itself more than anything.

I was going to say get the gigabyte z68 ud3-b3, but apparently they've been discontinued.
Slightly concerned about that since I've only had it for 2 weeks lol.

As naadra has mentioned, the MSI board is your best choice.

I know it says SLI ready on newegg but theres no SLI logo on the motherboard ... usually when its SLI ready theres a SLI logo =| Like the Z68 UD3 that some1 linked.
On the other hand theres no CFX logo either, so maybe its just MSI who doesnt care about putting logo on their board.Last edited by DarkBlade6; 2011-07-23 at 10:06 AM.

It's because the Z68 and P67 as a whole are capable of SLI/Crossfire if it has the slots. It's also because the CPU controls the PCI-E lanes and not the chipset. Originally Posted by mnm

The link that you quoted, Psii, now shows the item as "out of stock" so most likely it will get deactivated/discontinued once all shipments of them run out. Originally Posted by Psii

I love the Mobo and CPU I have - already have a nice over clock on the CPU with a aftermarket cooler - CPU temps shit around 38-40oC with wow running with sync off and a nice 90-130fps on ultra at 1080p (have a 810mhz OC on my GTX460 atm)

Thanks to Naadra the MOBO I'm getting is this one It has Xfire/SLI, and just about everything else I need it to do. Though the price is at $190. So it's a little pricey. But goes well with a black/red or black/blue color scheme if it matters to you.
