Do know it took me 3 tries to finally get a board that worked :p
I had both the 780i and 780i FTW both working and fully functional with a C2Q Q9550 @ 4.0Ghz, but the performance was lacking beyond words with TRI-SLI GTX280's. There was such a hinderence in performance from what I guess was memory and C2Q not being able to let the GTX280's stretch their legs. Not something I was happy with I sold a GTX280 and kept two ever since, but upgraded other stuff in the process.
