I think you should test them to be sure,but i would go for the non-NF200 board.

Just to try and put a nail in this coffen, I would set it up like this:

nf200 Classified goes in the gaming rig. Why? Because IF there is a performance hit, you aren't gonna notice 5 fps at 150 fps :hug:

Benching on the other hand, well you need every last advantage you can get. It has been shown that the 760 works great with 4x4890's so.... you be the judge there.

Well, I've reached a decision cool2 I'm RMAing the NF200 classy and the replacement should be here in 1 to 3 days (overnight EAR). The Hydro Copper will go on the bench... all this at least to start.

I noticed, to my horror, that even after mounting the Bitspower Moffset water block, there are still two moffsets that ONLY have passive air coolers :eek: So I ordered a Bitspower chipset Black Freezer which extends far enough to cover these two moffsets, and of course, another black freezer moffset block. SO, when the new board and new blocks arrive (should be Wednesday) I'll get to work replacing the passive coolers with the water cooers.

Meanwhile, I'll install the new 760 Hydro on the bench cause a fan will point straight down on the passive sink anyway. This board will most likely get my TRI SLI 285 Hydro Coppers and teh phase unit.

Meanwhile, the newly watered NF200 Classy will go inside a case, where the extra cooling is most needed. Dilemna here is I'm thinking of putting in Quad SLi 295s that are air cooled?? Will probably mix and match the cards anyway, but jeez, wish I could afford another 400 bones to water the 295s too :(

Problem is, moving watered cards is a royal PITA, air is so much easier ... Maybe after awile, I'll swap everything around and then be able to get apples to apples comparisons on numerous benches.... now that would be cool, but a lot of work :shock:

I demand hardware pron shots to_keep_order

Not staring me you don't lol but if you insistk I've neve been the shy type lol

eraser mostly off the outbound board, evap head off. Drain the video loop tomorrow and should be able to slip the new hydro cool in my tomorrow night... maybe I could pretend the lettle bits of eraser stuck in the socket are pucic hairs and pull them out with my teelh???? whould that turn you on:Dizzy:ohcrap

I say we elect a Ms Overclockaholics each month, and she's shown nude, live and in person, to every member... whatcha think, good idea???:D

still waiting for my Dom GTs at 2000mhz 7-8-7-20 with the eplidia cyhpers... this slow ass 1866 just don't make it :( can't buy video cards when I ain't got no good ram dammit. I'm a doctor Jim, not a damned miracle worker...... hahahaha

minus the male pucic hairs stuck in ur teeth, sure :taunt:

I'll be in charge of the model screening. :blush:

OUCH! ok, ya got me on that one. Just that I never retlate pubic hairs to anything but femaie genitalia. Should have stated that better ohcrap

Actually, I'm thinking that should be more of a committee function, like you and I .... I get to interview first thought :D:rofl
