SPecing out a new build for a friend that wants an option now incase he doesn't want to wait for IB>
Chip = i7-3820
Board = ASRock x79 Extreme4-m (or possibly Extreme6 if i can sell him on 3way PCI-E 3.0 sli )http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.us.asp?Model=X79 Extreme4-M
Question How can you tell an (M1) vs an (M0) version i7-8320 ? this is important because the chip came out after the chipset on the board I he wants and I have to know what chip version so I can know what bios version will support that chip on the board. Some early boards shipped without a bios version that supports the i7-8320 and will not post.
SEtup feels like kind of a waste now because I just learned that the i7-8320 won't support PCI-E 3.0 .. any suggestions for PCI-E 3.0 build with processor and board ? Any info on when a PCI-E 3.0 LGA 2011 will release ?
Cpu support list for mobo > http://www.asrock.com/mb/cpu.us.asp?Model=X79 Extreme4-M
Any other thoughts or comments welcome
