I was getting an ASUS P6T SE as part of a trade but the douche bag went ahead and pulled out on me after I ordered the rest of the components. What have i learnt from this ? -not to be so trusting of people, sad world we live in eh?
Anyway, I now have an i7 920 and Patriot Viper 3x2GB (which i notice are now both on TWO, just my luck ) and no mobo to finish it off.
The three Im looking at are the ASUS P6T SE and ASUS P6T and EVGA X58 SLI SE. I have had a fair bit of bad experience with ASUS motherboards, although Ive heard a lot of good things about the P6T. I like EVGA as a brand, theyve always been willing to help and their products are top notch imo, which is why the EVGA is in consideration.
Price is a relatively large consideration, and if the ASUS boards are tried and tested without issues I wouldnt mind going for one of them.
I would like to have the option to SLI though, not sure how likely I am to use it though im a lot more likely to use SLI than Crossfire. Not sure its worth the extra £22 though.
I do want to do a solid overclock, thats pretty important atm.
Just want opinions on what to go for really
