Stuck between 2 motherboards.

Ede1234 · Feb 4, 2014

Hey Guys! I am kind of stuck between 2 motherboards. The Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P Motherboard and the Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3 Motherboard. My build is here.

The GPU isn't there because I am using a GTX 660 GPU for my build.

The DS3 would be the better one for your build. BUT, it is not available to buy on Newegg, at least.

Actually the D3P one is the better option since it has the use of XMP profiles for the RAM (Which will allow for better overclocking and and higher memory timings) also since the GPU is non important you really don't need the availability of crossfire support with the DS3 series.

Looking at the memory you are using the Kingston Hyper X is perfectly compatible with the D3P board and will support the XMP that I was referring to earlier.

The D3P does have cfx support for 2 cards, @ x16 x4 which is the same as DS3.

Either board will do I believe, i'd prefer the D3P also.

However if op could afford it, a jump to UD3 is where i'd go.
