Looking for good Mobo
« on: February 14, 2011, 12:51:28 AM »
I heard that gigabyte boards are good, but want to bounce it off of you guys. Need to be able to run 2 gfx cards on SLI and take 3x2gb of ram. I wanted to go with the giga boards because of their soundboard options

I used to use ASUS but had a few problems and their support is awful.  Now I am partial to eVGA mobo's.   Many are solid though...just read the online reviews from reputable tech sites.  Most are very similar save for a few features and bells and wistles.

Which one would you recommend for my situation?

gigabyte mobo's are great but some are picky with the type of ram you have.  I have a gigabyte mobo and it was easy to oc with my e8400 cpu and ocz ram. actually i think all mobo's are picky with the ram.  just make sure the ram you buy is "recommended" for the mobo you guy.

I have used msi and on my current build I have an evga, no problems with either one... with the build I am doing right now I will be using an asus mb due to what I want it to do and what the processor is.

The msi had absoulutly no problems for a solid 3 years of wear and tear and abuse from me. It finally knicked the bucket this last week so I am getting it replaced with an asus p55 pro ...if I remember correctly.

The build I did for myself is using evga motherboard but I don't remember which vrsion ( I will post the specs when I get home tonite) so far no bubbles no troubles.

The brand you get for your build should match according to your processor. I like intel so I go with intel boards.

A final note I have heard and read a lot of good comments for the gigabyte boards and I have heard negative remarks also just likne everything you get your good with the bad.

Hopefully you get one you will be happy with.

I've used Gigabyte and Asus on every build I've done in the past 15 years.  Either one in my experience is fine.

If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.
