AMG Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 (edited) Sorry, yes I knew about that, ASUS and ASrock have been seprate companies for a a while now. As for phase counts, it is with SB more CPU bound, as always.. however a board with higher phase counts does help it in more ways than just overclock, Ie is able to provide cleaner power with less spikes, less Vdrop so you don't need to put the Vcore up to much to counter. The mobo side benifits is that its power circitry runs cooler as the load is spread more(techincly). I m not saying thats a fact I m just sharing what I seen..Not like the ASrock needs to worry in that department. I m based around a LGA775 so things are called different on my platform so sorry if I said something I shouldn't have.

Drdeath Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) Asus does not own ASRock nor do they own Pegatron. IIRC they share a board manufacturer and that's about it these days. Asus made Pegatron as a subsidiary back in 2007 as a business restructure........... If you research, Pegatron owns Asrock...... Pegatrron owns ASRock... Asus owns Pegatron.... The investment company now operates Pegatron seperately from Asus as of Sept 2010 but Asus still owns shares in Pegratron. They are not operated under Asustek name anymore.

Drdeath Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) 1. Asus owns shares in Pegatron Corp 2. They share the same board 3. ASRock gets access to ASUS' Intellectual Property 4. They share the same foundry Also, They are all within 1500metres of each other. Not that this matters but I just thought I'd throw this in there for fun!

aspevacek Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 The Extreme 7 gen 3 is the way to go if you can swing the price. The board is just plain very SOLID. I am thinking all the AsRock Extreme series would most likely be as solid. The options are great and other then a few of the voltages being a little lower then what my ram was wanting I have had no issues. The VTT needed a small bump to stabalize at 1.35 volts, bt that could be because I am running 4 X 4GB sticks in my system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMG Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 Yeah £200 for a board is a bit steep to be honest considering its not really needed £160 is a sweet spot for SB mobos it seems Althrough I will be having 8Gb only 1600 ram as I don't see the need for faster, I will be trying to do a run for 5.0Ghz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peshewah Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 Don't buy a MSI z68a gd65 (g3). It will be a good board if they ever get the bios bugs worked out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waco Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 Stay away from MSI... MSI cleaned up their act recently in regards to power circuitry. I just don't like blue...so from an aesthetic point of view I hate them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
