vandreadstriker Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 P67 board are considerably cheaper when compared to Z68 boards, so it's either you get a 'lower-end' Z68 board or get a 'higher-end' P67 board. But honestly, there isn't much of a gap in performance between them. If you're on a budget, you can't go wrong with the ASrock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3. :cheers; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drdeath Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 I would personally go Z77 Motherboard. Some can be had for under $180 US $..... P67 is outdated. The MSI Z77-GD65 is a good one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another is the Gigabyte Z68 UD3 or if ya want Z77, the Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H is out. Edited April 18, 2012 by Drdeath Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rofltroll Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) Can you tell us how much you want to spend on this mobo? Here's a Z77 which I think is pretty good at 160$: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128544 It's a bit expensive but it's Gigabyte and has all sort of features. I find it a bit steep , but I have no idea how much a p67 sabretooth costs to compare. As far as buying AsRock, don't. I don't scare people away from AsRock usually but you are buying a piece of hardware from another country. If it breaks you're pretty much screwed as far as RMA is concerned. AsRock has good stuff but it's somewhat notorious ,in my country anyway, of breaking down. The Gigabyte and Asus mobos are what you need. So if you find a mobo that you like but it's AsRock , then I strongly suggest against getting it. Now I expect some bashing from my fellow OCC'ers for my previous statement.

Thanks a lot thats a nice motherboard with a good price, but a friend is selling me this ASUS MAXIMUS EXTREME IV I3/ I5/ I7 INTEL P67/ 4X DDR3 DUAL‐CH / 6X SATA I'm planning to get that..But if i do get that, i wont have much money to buy the Hydro H100 guess ill wait to get it, or buy a cheaper motherboard and get the cooler.. but i think the motherboard is more important.. I just want this PC for gaming, like Diablo 3 when it comes out So far i got Intel i7-2600k GTX560ti 2GB 8gb RAM Corsair Vengeance 650W Corsair Power Supply Case: Corsair 500r Carbide Edited April 18, 2012 by AndresP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandreadstriker Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 Now I expect some bashing from my fellow OCC'ers for my previous statement. I won't bash you.. Maybe just a little I've and still am using an ASRock 790GX board for my Phenom II X3. Had to RMA it once due to IO issues but there wasn't any problems when I did (probably since the distributor here also acts as the distributor of ASUS ). Other then that, I've never had any big issues with it, aside from kinda poor overclocking results. Maybe it's somewhat of a lottery. When you're in luck, you'd get good boards. When you're having bad luck, you're screwed. But I personally have nothing against them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very similar to my previous i5 2500K built. I would advice you to not get the H100. As I've said many times here in this forum, I don't think the Hydro series are worth the extra money. I've used the H100 on my previous 2500K and it does perform better then the D14 but only by 2-3oC. I know the Carbide 500R fits the H100 perfectly but honestly I don't think it's worth. The Carbide 500R is a very spacious case IMO and those big coolers like the D14 wouldn't have any problem in it. Granted you'd have RAM issue if you chose the D14 but you could look on other coolers. The NZXT Havik 140 for example performs almost as good as the the D14 while being a lot 'slimmer' then it. Just my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion. welll i actually planned to buy the H80 but when i recieve the new case 500r. i saw the 2 holes on top for the h100, so yea.. i want my cpu to look super cool about coolers i saw 3 options, TT frio ock, Noctua d14 and the hydro series the ram got a thermal thing on it, corsair vengeance, and i actually dont think ill OC well, i havent see that magic LOL, but i've never had a computer like the one im building, maybe ill try, but my point is that im not planning to put my stuff in test with crazy overclocks.. never done it before.. when it's done ill ask for a tutorial of OC xd! Conclusion: i've seen the reviews of this page wich is Excellent!! Reviews of everything im buying, h100 apparently is very good and i want to buy cuz it fits the 500r perfectly and it just look awesome.. So is the FRIO OCK but there's no review of that cooler here :/ so im not buying it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
