What used high end socket 775 mb?

gasolin · Jul 19, 2012

I have a q6600 cpu oc'ed to 3.0 with a artic cooler pro 7 with no heat problems, 8 gb kingston hyper x 1600mhz ddr3 ram (I can only use my ram at 1333mhz because of my gigabyte mb limitations, oc'ed, std of my mb is 1066mhz, so i can only get 3.0 ghz) 1x320 gb for os, 1x320gb for music, and a 1x500gb harddrive for film, all wd caviar (last one i can/can't use is a 500gb seagate, only have 4 sata on my mb) and a gtx 560.

I want up to 3.6 ghz (need a 1600mhz ram socket 775 mb, my multipier is limited to 9), want to use raid 0 because of the speed (again another mb), and in the future 2 x gtx 560 for later on a 120hz 27" screen.

So i need an old high end motherboard that can use my 1600mhz ddr 3 ram at 1600mhz, sli and raid 0.(much cheeper then buying a new mb and a i5/i7 cpu)

But what mb? What would you recomend me to look for?

(I know it must be a used one, and a mb thats possible to get in denmark, on less i want to buy one on ebay or another place, have no experience of buying used hardware outside of denmark, other then a new sound blaster usb soundcard)

680i evga

Hmm 680i maybe ddr2.

EDIT:
GIGABYTE GA-X48T-DQ6 LGA 775 Intel X48 ATX Intel M...

There are really a lot of places you can buy used from like Ebay and Amazon and our Buy/sell/trade forums, once you have met the requirements to post in it.

I got my trusty Abit IP35 Pro kicking around still. It won't do DDR3 but it was a great overclocker.

Just that with 3.0ghz (cpu) i am no where near the limit om my cpu and a used high end mb and another gtx 560 cost about 150 euros a new mb i5 cpu and another gtx 560 (used) cost about 250-300 euros

Stay away from the eVGA boards, IIRC they were fire starters. Literally.

I think something along these lines is your best bet, there are others in the series http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_775/P5E3/ also these in p45 http://ca.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_775/P5Q3_DeluxeWiFiAP_n/

I can't stand Asus but they know how to make a MoBo :eek:

Motherboard has nothing to do with what DirectX you can use. Your OS and your GFX card set that limit

I don't think DX11 was around when that board was released, DX10 was the high end and thats what they include in their promos, etc. You can run a DX11 card in that board.

As long as the GPU and OS support DX11 then it shouldn't matter what board you're using, it only says that it supports DX10 because that was the version of the API out at that time. (theonedub beat me to it)^

I loved my old EVGA 680i board had tons of features and looked sexy as well. I do remember though all the problems that people and tech sites were reporting on with these boards plus they don't take DDR3 memory. But as mentioned the 790i or an Asus board are generally both solid picks.

newtekie1 · Jul 19, 2012

If you want SLI and DDR3, then the 790i is the only option. IIRC, the Striker II Extreme was one of the top dogs for that category.

I should have specified that the Asus boards i listed are crossfire only, my bad :eek:

Stryker or 790i are the best options for SLi, if going eVGA i strongly suggest/reccomend some sctive MoBo cooling
