Looking for good motherboard for core I7 I am looking for a good motherboard for the core I7. And yes i am going to overclock. I have been looking around a bit. I have been looking at the Asus P6T. but I am not sure... Sow please help me out a bit :) And my budget max 300€. |
Giga UD4P maybe mate, P6T Dlx is nice too. I would go over 250 euro's If I was you. There's no gain for daily usage... |
http://www.forcom.be/?product=304743 Gigabyte 1366 GA-EX58-UD4P DDR3 And what do you mean by there's no gain for daily usage... :-p hmm http://www.forcom.be/?product=304784 Asus P6T deluxe v2 also looks nice :D |
to spend 300 bucks compared to a 200-250 one, all of them can run 200Bclock , which is more than enough for nice 4GHz clocks and beyond Look here for the UD4P ; 219 euro's at www.jaha.be and www.alternate.be |
ow like that :) And the UD4P is a good deal then? It looks good ^^ |
Yep it's good enough mate... very durable mobo. |
Thanks :) It was getting confussing :D Some seem the same but the price is different ^^ o wel ^^ |
In the meantime, almost six months have passed and we had the launch of the LGA 1156 mobo's... that's what I'm going for. Since the core i7 860 is a very nice processor with loads of overhead to OC, that's the one I ordered, in combination with an ASUS Maximus III Gene micro-ATX mobo... Okay, so it has DDR3-dual channel instead of triple, but the mobo is a wet dream for tweakers... ;-) Haven't decided on the memory. Been using Kingston HyperX for quite a while (DDR2 PC8500@1066MHz) and I'll prolly stick to that brand and their HyperX mem. JJ |
I'm calling Asus tomorrow for some 1156 mobo's to test |

I'll keep an eye out for the results. Saw a test for the Maximus III Gene at Guru of 3D, by the way... |
Massman got them boards, hope he will have some stuff to share ( though he got 5 P55's in total to review ) |
Hey, another possible motherboard nowadays, although rather for people with a very tight budget, is the MSI X58m or the MSI Pro-E. On Alternate.be, they're (respectively): 159.90€ and 174.90€. I'm not a 100% sure, but I think that IF you wanna spend more money on a motherboard, IF your budget is higher (for your motherboard, that is), get something a little more expensive. At the moment, I'm working in order to save for a whole pack of upgrades, the ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 being one of them. :) (236.90€ on Tones.be) |

There's voltage limitations, but hey, those can be circumvented quite easily (some less easily, granted). Anyway, there's ways enough to build yerself a small nuclear plant using the LGA1156 and still stay under 900 euro. How do I know? Well, I did it ;-) |
