Hi ;-)
Recently upgraded to an i7920 gaing system and have sent for all the parts
i.e. 750 watt psu; Nvidia GTX 280 SLI; 6GB 1333 MHZ RAM etc.
Anway i have sent for an Intel X58SO the "Smackover board" but have recently been hearing that it
a really terrible board and has been experiencing problems - what i want to know are the rumours true
and do any you have the board, how is it working and is the overclocking a big issue on these boards which apparently
have a locked multiplier.
ANy suggestions on changing the board and why would be great also the price range is between $240 - $300 dollars;
I live in South Africa and getting a board here is way more expensice to your equivalents due to tax and shipping.
Our exchage rate is 1 U.S. dollar is equal to 9.43 south african rands (ZAR) - laugh it off you lucky sods ;-)
The Asus P6T Deluxe V2 - that i have been hearing about sounds like a good board but is out of my price range at R4225 (ZAR) equivalent to $448 - yeah what a rip off i know it costs more than the i7920 processor and thats one of the cheap boards.
Price check SOuth African Websites - www.comx.co.za
So if you can over me an alternative for cheper or slighly more expensive between R2200 - R3400 ($233 - $360) i'd appreciate it
This has to include shipping to south africa (gauteng - my province in Pretoria (near Johannesburg)) if possible.
THankx you guys are awsum.
Yea want to overclock as well ;-)
