Moti Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 The difference is package contents and warranty. The A1 comes with more accessories and a lifetime warranty if i can recall... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slinky Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 srry, i forgot to tell you about my board. bottom line. GET IT. It has been nothing but awesome so far. i have my i7 920 overclocked to 4.0 Ghz on air and its stable as a rock. my ram is running at 1604 and the whole setup is blazing fast. the only downside to the board is it doesnt supporst sli. which is why i bought a 4870x2.

Moti Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Can't go wrong with any of those boards. Foxconn is evga's connect. Personally I would just go with evga, they have really good tech support. Plus the warranty and programs they have are great. Also I am sure you'll never need tri-sli, unless you just want to show off crysis at the highest resolution. A simple SLI or CF setup is plenty imo... There are some reviews out there, that you only see the benefit of tri-sli @ a higher resolution of 2560 x 1600.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slinky Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 one more thing about my board. it doesnt have an onboard raid controller.

pimpedout97x Posted July 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 oh good thing you mentioned that. i plan on doing raid 5 so i think ill just get the evga e758 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 758 will do Tri-Sli but thats it , dont expect to have any slots left for anything afterwards like a sound card. This is figuring the GPU's you use would be double slot GTX 200 series . If you want more slots for the future .. get the Classified instead. It has 4 PCI-E slots and other PCI slots and you can mount the cards in different arrangements. This is not a con as most dont run 3 GPU's but something to be aware of if your planning to run alot of stuff. With all them HDD's .. I would get a board that has 6 Dimms . The 758 from Jacob @ EVGA says it should support 24GB of Ram but just has not been advertised too. 2000 Trans Am ws6 - 6spd / M9 / cam / full bolt-ons / semi full suspension / tune 1998 Integra - daily beater, [2] AB XFL-1244's / 4ft³@35Hz, 61in² / Saz-3500dv1 @.85Ω Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpedout97x Posted August 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Had to wait til I got a little extra play money, I'm getting ready to order the evga e758, i7 920, and 6gb of corsair ddr3 1600 dominator series. I thought about the xms3 for a little less money (same ram I believe, but different heat sinks) and I think ill just spend the extra and go with the dominator, becuase I wanna mess around with OC'ing and that ram has awesome reviews as far as OC'ing goes and staying cool at the same time. So total once I order those 3 parts ill be at 1781 shipped. That's the mobo, cpu, ram, 6tb of hdd, 1kw psu, and the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pimpedout97x Posted August 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 nice have a few questions about RAM as far as timing goes, is lower the number better? for example 7-7-7-20 vs 8-8-8-24? these are the ones im comparing and i cant understand why the one with the lower timing is cheaper? this is the set i was going to order: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820145224 and then i came across this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820145253 then there is this, with 9-9-9-24, but its more becuase 1866mhz vs the above 2 which are 1600mhz http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820145232 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
