Hi Please could someone recommanded me a good motherboard that would work with a quad core chipset maybe one that would work with this graphics card Zotac GeForce GTX 295 1792MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (ZT-295E3MA-FSP) Thanks for reading
EVGA X58 3X SLI, X58, (Socket 1366) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard : novatech.co.uk : evg-x58 EVGA X58 3X SLI, X58, (Socket 1366) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard. will support quad core i7 processors, 920, 940 & 965 extreme will also run two gtx 295's in quad sli. excellent overclocking board. excellent strong boards intel boards, low heat exchange on the north & southbridges. dual gig lan latest tech - boards supports qpi upto 6.4G/T (replaces fsb) the i7 processors qpi start at 4.8G/T (replaces fsb) The i7 processors memory controller is built onto the chip instead of northbridge. i7 processors have 1mb L2 cache, 256kb per core also a shared 8mb L3 cache. The mobo also supports the latest ddr3 Tripple channel memory upto 1600mhz what else can i say but excellent board & processors. should take it into consideration.
thanks for the replys i have a question to add to this when RAM is concerned what do i look for DDR2 or 3? and what do the numbers mean? "I have mine @ DDR3 1600MHz 7,7,7,21 1.80v with P1/P2 Enabled." 7,7,7,21? Thanks again.
you have to check on your motherboard manual what ram is supported and what the max memory speed the motherboard supports e.g. ddr2 upto (1033mhz) ddr 3 of course is the best ram, latest tech (but you have to buy the correct ram according to what you motherboard supports) what the numbers mean: 1600mhz = is the speed of the memory(quicker the better) 7,7,7,2,1 = CAS timings. In other words memory latency, response times (lower the better) 1.80v = ram voltage
so that mother baords you recommanded with only take DDR3 ram of "Memory Bus Speed Range DDR3 1600(O.C.)/1333/1066"
