Choosing the best x58 right for me !

[ILikeCosmosS]

there are my choices

Dfi x58 t3eh8
bloodrage x58 is not a option because i need 6dimms
evga classfied is the next step up from the bloodrage
p6t deluxe
rampage 2 extreme

i really liking the dfi but i going to use tri fire so i want to get nf200 chip for x16 three slots and still be using two x1s

the dfi is great but lacks waterblocks and x16 on all 3 slots
the evga classfied is perfect and the waterblocks will come for it , i get digital pwms 6slots x16 on three slots
the p6t and R2E the r2e is simply not worth it to me but the p6t is ok but i would get the dfi, the only reason asus x58 are still in a option is because the black pcb and internal 6 usb's

so help me out guys which to get!

if i do get evga classfied will it have x58 revision

If nf200 is a requirement, you must get the classified.
Whatever you do, don't get the any of the ASUS boards, S3 sleep mode is broken on all of them. In fact, Sm works only on the DFI T3EH8 (doesn't work on other DFI's) Giga UD5, bloodrage, Biostar, and classified. I tested the BIOstar...great AC characteristics, very nice board, no disadvantages except smart fan doesn't work right, but then SF doesn't work on any board
except all the MSI boards cause only MSI uses the F71882F chip. Of course
MSI doesn't support sleep mode, so there is no such thing as a 'do everything' board.

what about the p6t6 ?

[zanzabar]

u should never need the nt200, 8x pci-e2 works great with single gpu cards and the added latency from et ent200 wont help except for some benches.

i would go with the dfi, and it has water blocks from mips but i dont think that they are needed with the x58 or the voltera power system. the classified looks nice but its going to be bank and will be simmilar to the dfi but with the nt200 and 2 extra phases but i doubt that it will help then with 6 dimms it will limmit the ocability so those phases wont make a difference.

and what gpus are u going to use (im guessing 3x285), for the most part 3 gpus isnt a good idea since its AFR only unless u are benching

Dfi lack waterblocks? Plz check again, there a re both waterblocks for PWM and NB

how does the nf200 effect benches?

since people are recommending no nf200
( i really wanted a evga classfied though)
new choices evga x58 sli
dfi ut t3h8
p6t deluxe
bloodrage
evga classfied ( still got to have it as a option)
i don't mind having 1333mhz on my memory if i can get close to 1600 then its fine as long as it doesnt effect my bclk on my i7

Sounds like you already know what you want. I've used Asus P6T Deluxe, RIIE, and the DFI X58 and would probably recommend DFI as best bang-for-the-buck. Overclocking performance is very similar on all three boards and seems to be more a function of the cpu. Personally I can't see how the Classified could possibly be worth the price, but if that's what you want then go for it.

[ILikeCosmosS]

i don't know what i really want to go for
the aestethics on bloodrage and classfied will promote my build ( red/black)
well dfi and evga x58 are dead on similar as well as p6t deluxe
the R2E issues !
bloodrage has only 3 dimms so what's left ?
people are saying nf200 will lower my bench scores

nt 200 is a bad idea with anything but NV cards, the skull trail proved that. in your case i would go dfi 100%

[ILikeCosmosS]

dfi or evga x58 sli
the x58 sli has a nb/sb block+ mosfet block making cooling very easy
the dfi its not the best in colors but it is excellent performer
p6t deluxe is EWW to me now!
so i guess evga x58 sli and dfi are left to choose

[zanzabar]

u can get the mosfet from mips and the NB/SB dont need liquid or much cooling on the x58

[ILikeCosmosS]

this is the differences between dfi and the evga

dfi very nice cooling design but lacks nb/sb blocks( 1 piece)
evga has water block by BP
evga has black sata cables
dfi has green/ yellow bus slots
evga has green(ugh) but i can block that with a cooler i will get

what is the advantages/disadvantages of both boards?

[zanzabar]

the classified is in essence the same as the dfi but with the nt200 and 2 extra phases were ocing is concerned but the classified has realtech an instead of marvel so it wont perform as well. and why would u want a NB/SB block the SB is under 10W so a sink with no active cooling like the enzo will do and the x58 dosnt need liquid IMO but any universal x58 will work.
