does the P5B Delux support sli cards?

[operative x]

I would like to set up an sli system but i don't know if my mobo supports it or if i need the sli connector for my 7600gt.

if there are 2 pci-e 16x slots then yes you can do sli. i heard heard that sli can work without the connector but there was performance loss..

When you plug 2 graphics cards in, each slot runs at 8x instead of 16x. Get an SLI motherboard if you want to go SLI. The deluxe doesnt come with a SLI bridge either afaik.

The P5B Deluxe is only for Crossfire.

NO. It would not work. Even crossfire doesn't work properly.

Instead of starting another thread... Does anybody here have this board? If so, what memory are you using. I'm thinking about this. Anybody have any experience with the two of them together?

 

[The Brick]

I have the board (though a badly fabricated one, full of bugs :frown: ) and I'm using Corsair Twin2X 2gb 6400C4. That's the best memory for overclocking. The OCZ are good too but not as great.

Using OCZ Platinum DDR2 800 on that mobo.

I ended up geting some of that OCZ platinum ram. Booted to windows with no tinkering. Now I am having the horrors of Windows not wanting to work with new hardware. They want me to register again etc. I'm currently working on clearing one of my drives and installing a fresh copy of media center. :x
