    Hi people.

    Does anyone know where I can find this motherboard?

    May sound silly, but I don't really want a blue motherboard (a la gigabyte et al), since the inside of my case it red and it will clash (yes, very Gok Wan/Carrie Bradshaw I know). I've set my sights on the EVGA p55 SLI because it looks like a stealth bomber and is a pretty decent overclocker, but now can't find it for love, money or a song.

    Does anyone know where I can get one of these? I'm UK based.

    If anyone has any alternative suggestions of black &/or red themed LGA1156 mobos that don't cost an arm and a face, I'm open. I want to put the i5 750 up to 3.6 - 4 GHz, so overclocking is a must.

    Thanks in advance.

    ccl is the only place i could find it...

    on a side note, i've got one, and make sure you update the bios and disble 'dual clock' or something like that. With it enabled, you'd turn it on, it would post, then shutdown, wait a few seconds, then post again and startup. Very annoying!

    Just wondering, what kind of performance hit is there if you run the 2 cards at x16/x8?

    It'll be 8x/8x if running SLI or Crossfire and the performance hit overall is negligible, around 2-3% if any.

    Thanks for your help guys.
    Gryphon, I'll bear that in mind, cheers. How have you found it as a board to live with/overclock?
