insan3 Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 (edited) Well since i got a i7 920 for x-mas i might as well make a build for it. its going to be a slow build since i am still working on my amd 1. Case : HAF 932 PSU: Corsair 1000hx Cpu: i7 920 mobo: ????? HSF: Cooler master v8 after water cooling Ram: ??? depending on board. Video card: ???? hopefully GTX 360 or 5970 optical: any dvd-burner Hdd: any hdd. So i need helping picking out a good mobo for around $300 cdn. from either www4.canadacomputers.com, newegg.ca or tigerdirect.ca Edited December 27, 2009 by insan3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nugga Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 usually people recommend ASUS P6T, i don't know why, maybe any one has a reason? Myself i'm having a Gigabyte UD4P, which is working very nice, and works very nice for overclocking. So choose your self or wait for any one else to reply.

rourkchris Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 I use the Asus Rampage II GENE and while it's a micro-atx motherboard it's a high quality product. It gives you the full functionality of a full ATX board. You can use 12GB of RAM, 2 video cards, and overclocking not normally found in micro-atx boards. 4Ghz was very easy to reach for me. http://www4.canadacomputers.com/index.php?...amp;cid=MBD.303 $229.99. Comes in under your budget but gives up none of the features. Here's the OCC review http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/as...ampage_ii_gene/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
insan3 Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 yeah i was looking it but i was not sure how it was going to perform since it was pretty cheap.. i was thinking of Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rourkchris Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 I'm not trying to sell you the board but look here http://forums.overclockersclub.com/index.p...howtopic=161432 My system tends to overclock rather well on air. Only really beaten by phase cooling. It's a strong board, I run an i7 920 at 4Ghz 24/7 with 12GB of RAM and 2 5870s. Ultimately you have to get what you want and makes you happy. Only making a suggestion that I have experience with and have been very happy with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
