Why is that even a question?

Why is that even a question?

can you think of even one time i've misled you people?

your lack of trust has made chuck norris homeless

now you've done it, chuck norris is dead

i have nothing more to say on the matter

It was because I had my RAM at 1744MHz.

To all you Sandy Vaginas - sorry bridgers; what's the best mATX 1155 board atm, in your opinion?

IC all P67/Z68 boards are much of a muchness unless your going high end, ie: all will oc an 2500k/2600k to at least 4.5ghz without braking a sweat, so any P67/Z68 mATX board will be sweet, obviously the other features such as multiple GPU, number of ports etc will probably be your deciding factor, hence I grabbed this Asrock with a single pcie x16 as having had multiple multi GPU setups I know I won't be heading down that road again in the near future, what I based my decision on was it was ATX, was a budget (ish £100) board and had good power circuitry as well as fitting in nicely with my colour scheme which is black..... lol

Also thought I would take a risk on Asrock, knowing they used to be based towards budget conscience users but in the last 2-3 years have moved into mainstream/enthusiast and I have heard good things about their recent boards, otherwise it would have most likely been a safe bet on an Asus or Gigabyte mid range board as "thats what I have always gone for" and has worked (for the most part)

on asrock here and they put some amazing features even in their low end boards

I would disagree, not to be an arse, but just because I don't agree with that statement, by that I mean that they are good stable boards and are close to/as good as the bigger players, but aside from providing them features at a slightly better price point there is nothing that sets them apart, what amazing features do you speak of, cause amazing to me means unique.

Don't get me wrong, not slating Asrock in any way, I just don't think they bring anything new, what they do bring is quality equal (or getting there) to the likes of Gigabyte and Asus, though for a slightly better price point, which in it self is a USP IMO, yay for acronyms

i think they bring new stuff, i'm using Core unlock on a 7025 chipset, have both DDR2 and DDR3 ram, for some reason the usb's stay turned on when its off etc etc

Whats the difference between the H67 and P67?

Ah ok, so yea I will say that they are innovative in recent times also, as you said, core unlocking on 7025 chipset as well as boards with ddr2 & ddr3 support and before that AGP & PCI-E on one board . There isn't much of that going on now, they are moving more mainstream, but that's also a good thing cause my board is stable as a rock, as long as I can OC to a high level with stability I am a happy bunny, and if I can do that without dropping £150-£250 then all the better.

I always tend to go for high mid-range when it comes to motherboards, have been burnt going cheap and it's unbelievable how much of an performance impact a low end low quality board can have on all other components, I once bought a Phenom 1 x3 and low/mid board, fuck me, that was bad times.

A nice video detailing the differences between H67, P67 and Z68.

Ive seen a lot of Gigabyte and ASUS boards of those chipsets.

ever wonder what kirk did before he was famous

Please can you not spam in the middle of a discussion?

EDIT: IC avoid H67...
"As I understand it H67 is limited to 1333mhz ram speed, but can crank the multi on unlocked chips.
P67 is not limited at all, but has no support for the onboard GPU.
Z68 has support for all OCing, and has onboard GPU support."

fine, constructive comment

p67 has better overclocking options, h67 has no onboard graphics

if you want onboard graphics go H67

otherwise, pick another chipset

H67 the majority of boards DO NOT support unlocked multi's ie "K" and are targetted at entry level, P67 support unlocked multi's and multi GPU, Z68 same as P67 but also supports Lucid Hydra and SSD caching (HDD & SSD hybrid)

not going sandy bridge myself but out of interest how well does the SSD caching actually work, wouldn't it be better to just have the SSD as a boot drive

 

[MilkyWay]

Any Gigabyte or Asus board should be fine they all clock nearly the same, heard the ASrock board was pretty good for the price but its not mATX. Heh NdMk2o1o seems to like the ASrock board too but im imagining IC can only fit a mATX board in the case its going into.

since sandybridge is multiplier overclocked it mainly depends one the strength of the VRM's

 

[MightyMission]

or the cooling potential of the heatsinks?
i think intel (SB in particular,i hear its not unusual for the 980x to pull 300w OCced!) doesnt have such crazy power requirements as the amd counterparts,though i could be wrong.
