How about the Extreme 4? It looks to have covered the problems you brought up about the Pro3. [editline]30th January 2012[/editline] [url]http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005FGMQAQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER[/url] [editline]30th January 2012[/editline] It's also only $10 more than the Pro3.

So if you're able to buy it then yes.
That's what I figured and what I've noticed to be said. Just want to make sure it doesn't have any major flaws. [editline]30th January 2012[/editline] That said, I'll be ordering today.
Thats the P67 extreme4, you would be better off with the z68 extreme4.

Why so? [editline]30th January 2012[/editline] They literally [URL="http://www.asrock.com/mb/compare.asp?SelectedModel=Z68+Extreme4+Gen3&SelectedModel=P67+Extreme4+Gen3"]look the same[/URL] aside from onboard graphics.

Plus from what I hear z68's are the best for overclocking.
[QUOTE=KingZaiKay;34465668]z68 has more features and for the same price why not? Plus from what I hear z68's are the best for overclocking.[/QUOTE] Z68 has a nice 4 month wait, or else a higher price.
[QUOTE=KingZaiKay;34465668]z68 has more features and for the same price why not? Plus from what I hear z68's are the best for overclocking.[/QUOTE] Not true about the overclocking. All you get is the ability to use SSD caching and the ability to use the onboard graphics. Just get the P67 if it's cheaper by a noticeable margin.
Okay, just gonna get the P67 since it's a 2 day wait and not a 1-4 month wait. Also I'm not using an SDD, am buying a graphics card, and probably won't overclock [highlight]TO THE EXTREME[/highlight]

Oh, please. I'll be fine.
[QUOTE=ILY;34466274]Nvidia, better buy a fire extinguisher[/QUOTE] You can cool a graphics card, you can't however make your own drivers that run games properly when they first release for AMD cards. I like my 6970, but I'd gladly take the supposed extra heat fermi puts out for some good driver support.
Or like how my HD 4850 could barely run Saints Row 3 for about a month, now it kind of runs better though...

Figured so. :v:
