1. DDz Quorum Sid Posted September 14, 2010 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 My current mobo, an Asus P5N-T Deluxe , is giving me issues so I want to replace it. I would like a Socket 775 as I could keep the recently aquired quad core Q9650 that won't work in the Deluxe and would like to keep as many current internals if possible. However if necessary I will sell the Q9650 to get a more modern board/processor if required. There are many boards out there....does anyone have any advice as to reliability? I have had 2 Asus boards in 3 years, this one and a Striker Extreme. I have no interest in over clocking. Edit: Looking at this, an Asus P6X58D-E Cheerzen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1. DDz Quorum Pooka Posted September 14, 2010 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Hi Sid, I just rebuilt about three months ago and selected the ASUS P6X58D Premium. Its a socket 1366 and the one you link to is also a 1366, not a 775. I'm very satisfied, I went with an i7-920 CPU and 6GB of 998691 Mushkin memory. Since straightening out my problems with the router its been cruising along just fine. All settings in IL-2 are maxed, no stutters. I constructed it all myself, second build and it fit together with no glitches. Lots of room for the future with Sata 6 and USB 3 etc....

1. DDz Quorum Sid Posted September 14, 2010 Author 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Thanks Pook, that's just what I wanted to hear. I'm looking at a similar processor and 6gb of Corsair 10666 running at 1333 hz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators fruitbat Posted September 14, 2010 2. Administrators Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Thanks Pook, that's just what I wanted to hear. I'm looking at a similar processor and 6gb of Corsair 10666 running at 1333 hz. i'd get 1600Mhz memory personally, i've got 6GB corsiar XMS3 1600Mhz. i've got a similar processor to pookas, an i7-940, and its a fantastic chip, used in conjunction with an asus P6T deluxe mb, so easy to overclock as well.

Kimosabi Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Yep. Might as well go 1366. Tried finding a good 775 board but the socket is being phased out, it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum Pooka Posted September 14, 2010 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 This has already went way over my head, but I checked and the memory I'm running is 1600Mhz too, 6-7-6-18, whatever that means. Pooka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
