I'm looking at a similar issue, though probably with a little longer time frame to wait. I've narrowed it down to either the BadAxe2 or an RD600 board. You can't beat an Intel board for stability, but the RD600 wins on power draw. Of course, both RD600 and 975 beat the pants off 680i in terms of power draw / heat dissipation. Very curious to see if the next BadAxe BIOS that Gary mentions will include undervolting options.

badaxe2, rd600, r600, 650i dont forget the asus commando!
if you thought november and december were good months wait until january!

budget aside the perfect motherboard would be badaxe2 975 beating 680i and 965 in performance and better stabilty right now. i have big hope for the asus commando. a revised p5b with high fsb potential, loose timings combined with high memory bandwidth loads of bios options will make it a winner over the rest. alot less bios options than thee rd600 lol. i think it take quite awhile from now before realise what the rd600 potential is.

i will say no more about the noise on 1950xt. the card is so awesome you wont care about noise.
