I head that the EVGA 680i boards are eally great overclockers, but I was wondering if there were any others out there that had 2 IDE ports.

I love the EVGA boards, but they only have 1 IDE and I have a couple of old harddrives that I want to use and need more than 1.

I was looking at the MSI P6N SLI Platinum 650i, but I heard it wasn't great for OCing. Any suggestions? Thanks.

i have the asus striker extreme, by memory i think it has 2 ide ports. but it can be a pig to oc (huge hint for ocing this board remove the cmos clear jumper completly from the mobo, having it in the on or off position woud hamper my OC buy about 50%)

If your looking for Overclocking options, DFI LanPary:toast: Yea its my board, but thats not like the only reason I suggest it, well you can see my OC with it and I can go further I just havn't the ambition yet to do so. You cant get the 939 board on newegg anymore, but you can get the DFI lanparty AM2 board still, the OC is incredible
