get P7P55D, put 5850 as GPU and GTX275 as PPU and enjoy gaming at its best.

and ATI is not bad AT ALL mate...i thought so too until a gave the 4870 a GO...and man did it fly...especially when Overclocked !

so just pop it in and feel the awesomeness !! and get a 9800/8800GT and use it as a PPU.... ur rig will be a kickass gaming monster !

voltage tweak is used for GPUs not having voltage control, so they are moded and after that mod their voltage is increased.
hence giving better overclocks.

oye yeh to mujhe bhi pata hai//i was asking whether u increase vcore with software...or is it pre OC...

congrats..i was thinking..i would have been the first to own one..but you beat me to it
