face it - no mobo no cpu
maybe this should be posted in mobos - well nobody reads mobos - if your getting a c2d quad read this:
everyone know the 680i chips set is totally bugged, especially for quad cores:
1striker cpu int error no boots and totally bugged bios - 1330 quad core bug on all 680i mobos only evga is rma-ing for no 1335 or high fdb.
2) memory burning up in evga mobos over 2.2v
3)sata problems - major raid issues
4) Vcpu 1.5v lock up
5) plenty more......
well these are just a few issues - what does this have to do with cpu's - well if you want the fastest cpu (intel quad core) then u need a matching mobo - right! Are you going to stick that $970 chip in a 650i mobo? what about a 975? many people are reverting to 975 chipsets - can't blame them!
Why is asus my buddy again! becasue, after buying an open box mobo from the egg (i buy lots of these 9 out of 10 work fine with a heat sink fan or new bios or nothing at all) the last 3 asus mobos all will not boot 2 strikers and p5n32-e plus hybird (650i and 570 chipset combo in a striker mobo).
Well, i sent back the first striker and it was returned from the rma, it worked for 2 hours on this i cranked the voltage to 1.5v - cpu int lock up -- again! omg!
after returning my striker (2nd time) with cpu int error for the second time = THEY SENT ME A BRAND NEW MOBO (in 3 days) WITH ALL THE NEW PARTS -- OMG! hey its worth the $25 in shipping - 2 sound cards more fans 2 games 2 3dmarkd06 like i need more - key codes!
maybe it was the nasty letter i wrote listing all the abit, intel and other mobos i was going to buy to replace the 8-12 asus mobos i use?????
asus is my friend again - boy am i cheap to buy
C2D mobos:
P5w-dh (975x stablity, wireless and remote), P5N-E(best low cost mobo for C2D) , P5B-vm( poor oc, nice mATX) , the best asus mobos!
p5wd2-e premium 64 work station - the new one - 975x stablity
striker, p5n32-E plus, buy at your own risk! :twisted:
