What motherboard should I get, I have to buy it in the next 24 hours

BloodTotal · Dec 9, 2008

still need a percentage guys

ShadowFold · Dec 9, 2008

What % is 3.8 to 4.6? The highest I got my DFI P35 to with my E7200 was 3.8ghz and 3.2ghz 24/7 and my P45 does 4.2ghz 24/7 at better volts. I can get my e7200 to 4.6ghz and bench with it too. I had a pretty bad ass P35 tho, DFI Dark T2RS, miss the bastard but my P5Q Pro is so awesome

PCI-E2.0 helps a little in games and the ability to crossfire is good.

BloodTotal · Dec 9, 2008

heh, shadowfold I remember playing BF2 with you lol

I might get the p5q pro then, if that is the kind of OC capability I can get

BloodTotal · Dec 9, 2008

should I get this http://ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=30418&vpn=P5Q Pro&manufacture=ASUS#Specifications over a p35 for $20 less

BloodTotal · Dec 9, 2008

Can someone tell me the real differenc between motherboard manufacturers, what is the real difference between MSI, ASUS, Gigabyte, and DFI

Just depends on who you prefer and who's customer service you like to deal with the most.

Overall they have all made quality products it depends on the user to make the pick.

Oh god I don't want to do any more reasearch, im like dead

I basically spent every minute of my spare time from thursday to today, reasearching on new computer components, I know its worth it, but Im like dead right now from it. (I was up late last night - found out how to get free shipping from NCIX) So I had to reasearch on a mobo fast, or else I would not get free shipping + a good deal

lol, that sucks.

People have recommended some good boards in this thread, i still recommend the P5Q Pro. I am pretty sure you will make a good decisions out of all the mobos out there.

i hate this board some thing as my 680i A1

best boar di ever had was my 650i P5NE at least that thing could clock 2 phases or not.

thats why u have to go 790i

Kingpin of all people said that he got his highest clocks ever on a 790i board.

I haven't read what he as been doing past that point tho.

BloodTotal · Dec 9, 2008

im trying to budget under $200 CAD\

Oh gawd, now I have to read up on all the specs of every motherboard, then read reviews on spec comparisons, then read reviews on actual performance comparisons........

IMA KILL SOMEBODY

DaMulta · Dec 9, 2008

Ahh I'm sure there are used ones buy now.

BUT
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Produc...280 1070509908 107172451&bop=And&Order=PRICED

I know what you mean. I paid big bucks for mine......they are super high dollar still. The chip sets are very expensve they say. I don't even know what one runs for on ebay these days.

In the early days it was bigger. i think they're pretty close now. On 45nm chips, i've heard of my board doing 550 FSB, and i've heard of 500+ on P45.

the P5Q-pro is know to run 550mhz 24/7 as well and the biostar i45 holds the FSB WR @>700mhz

DaMulta · Dec 9, 2008

U have to log in to see this
http://search-completed.ebay.com/se...ts=1&saprclo=&ftrt=1&sbrftog=1&ftrv=1&guest=1
All the 790i boards on ebay that have sold are around 150-200 USD I don't know how your money is to ours. I can guess the EU, but not your money system.

CDdude55 · Dec 9, 2008

If you can afford a 790i board, then get it.

But the P5Q Pro is cheap, so why not go with that?

BloodTotal · Dec 9, 2008

I doubt ill need that kind of overclocker

Okay, im done with this comparison shi*, im ready to "asploded"

I wish they had a retard friendly guide through on which mb to buy at ASUS.com

Given the prices, should I just go with that ncix pq5 pro?
