For Non Gamer which Motherboard is best for i7-920

Low-range - MSI PRO-E/ ASRock x58 Extreme
Mid-range - ASUS P6T/ Gigabyte X58 UD4P/ EVGA X58
High-end - Gigabyte UD5/ ASUS P6XD

Thanks for the reply mate. Shall go with Gigabyte UD5

BE SURE TO GET THE UD5 REV 1!!

It is only a few dollars more and it has 2 USB 3.0 and 2 SATA 6Gbs ports native.

Newegg's data is a little bit messed up here but this is the REV 1 board.

thanks mate

but even Gigabyte Ga - X58 A - UD3R has usb 3.0 and sata 6bgs support. then why go for X58A - UD5 ?

^ Dint notice they have released that mobo...
It is a good one and unlike the X58-UD3R, this one has 6 RAM slots...Go with that mobo...

yes its a good one with 6 slots ( 24gb max ) and also usb 3.0 support, but unfortunately not available in india.

^ Ya...surely will take time for it to come to India...

Two reasons - the 5 has better cooling, more ports, AND Newegg doesn't even have the new 3 yet.

AND I still will probably buy the ASUS board as it has even better cooling, a bit better - less cluttered - layout (with less ports unfortunately) but it has a much better warranty - 3 years verses 1.

Cooling Equals Longevity.

The less heat your chips have to suffer the longer they will live.

I'm not looking to hugely overclock my system but I want it to be bulletproof. This means all of the hot parts get lots of airflow over them. I'm not going to try to run 5 miles of liquid cooling lines as I don't think it is necessary but I want this upgrade to last for 3 or 4 years before any MAJOR mods (maybe a GPU in a year or two).
