What X58 You Buying?

bump

Where's the option for "Not sure yet"?

definitely the msi platinum, it's like 90 bucks cheaper than anyone else. Plus, the placement and layout of the nb cooler will be conveniant for my sycthe orochi. (there will be a 120mmx38 fan directly on the nb.)
Should put out some good numbers.

i965 Extreme + Asus best choice of Ocing with multiplier and super great performance, for i940 and i920 is best choice Gigabyte ... i am here stable at QPI 170MHz + Turbo mode = i920 @ 3,6GHz Prime stable.

I have the DDR2 gig Ultra Durable and it was the most fun board i ever owned, so i want to keep that going.....

i920 & GIGABYTE GA-EX58-EXTREME :up:

I just pulled the trigger on 965 + R2E + 3x1 Kingston 2000mhz sticks. The asscheek where my wallet used to be is lonely.
I'm banking on R2E being as awesome as it's brother given sufficient BIOS support...and maintaining some resale value come december...

965EE + X58 UD5 is here...:)

that's no record by any stretch...
fugger's gotten 25k + 18.9ns with gigabyte's...
i woulnd't go with msi if they paid me, one reviewer already blew a fet on that board.
i mean, might be good for a budget, but i still think gigabyte UD5 is a better board for just a little more.

ASUS P6T is on its way along with the little number that's going to slot into it. ;)

GIGA's X58 UD5 soon, I can't wait for Westmere.

Westmere is still a year off.. And it'll be a simple shrink with some decidedly grey AES-accelerating SSE extensions. Wut? :confused:

Rampage II extreme or P6T Deluxe if money doesn't matter, Biostar Tpower X58 for best performance per dollar =)

My R2E just arrived with the rest.

Man what a beautiful MoBo.

Gigabyte, unless the foxconn blood is cheaper then i think its going to be
