What do you think your choice would be with a GTX 680 and Ivy Bridge 3570k? ASrock Extreme6?

Asrock Z77 extreme4 for me.

Interesting. Thanks.

The Z77 Extreme4 is $50 more!

Also, are the B75, H77, and B65 overclockable? Are they worth it?

Thanks for posting this, by the way. But man... that's a pretty hefty price for just PCI 3.0

EDIT: Also, interestingly enough, there are WAY more USB 3.0 ports on these.
EDIT2: Last thing. All of the useful combo deals are for the Extreme4 and an SSD. Just throwing that out there.

ASRock Z77 Extreme4 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Z77/Z75 boards are overclockable,and I believe B75 boards are also but don't quote me on that. I don't believe H77 and B65 boards are. There's a few links on the net explaining the differences between each series... z77/z75/B75/H77...etc...

 

[ddan49]

Yeah, I did a side-by-side comparison of Extreme4 and Extreme6... and next to no difference. I think we know what the next big board is going to be... <.<

Also, I only got interested in hardware like a month ago. Do you know if the price drops on motherboards after they are released? Like... within a month?

I don't see them dropping in price that soon. Some boards...most boards drop in price, and a few boards never drop in price. The Asrock P67 extreme4 never dropped in price to my knowledge. It did offer free shipping a few times on newegg which saved $8.

Can't wait

 

[BuBzXXL]

.... lol

 

[swifty_morgan]

lots of pci-e 2.0 16......... and then they say @4x. Hope people pay attention to that because it seems extremely misleading in the description to me.

 

[ddan49]

lol indeed. That ASUS looks like it could stop a bullet.

Dangit. Now I wanna click that link.

What's a good chipset for cheap motherboards like the H61? I'm a budget builder and was wondering what chipset to choose from the new Ivy Bridge ones.

 

[ddan49]

You don't really need the new ones. They don't offer that much of an increase in anything.

Those would be the B75 & H77 boards.
