    Looking for another X58 board...

    in Sold

    Posted

    I've a few Asus boards here, Rampage Extreme, Crosshair, Rampage 5 Extreme, they are solid boards :) Althought struggling a little with the Rampage 5 at the mo, trying to run faster ram speeds than 2800, a pain in the butt lol

     

    I was toying with the X58A-OC or the Rampage 3 Extreme for another X58 as I mentioned, only really wanted for benching with as I'd rather save my two EVGA boards lol :)

    I don't bother with cheap stuff because 9/10 you end up spending out more trying to get the better things sooner or later :) This is why I have always gone along with the idea of being a bit overkill :)

     

    Probably why I have two Classified boards (759 and 762) and a SR2 setup in the room, along with anything from socket A AMD to the latest X99 and a 5960X sat here.. I just love the hardware and never try to sell it..

     

    Which boards do you prefer? Asus or the Gigabyte?

    980X or 990X....

    There's a 980X on Ebay at the moment, but I'm unsure if its worth going for or not?

     

    Also, does the batch help with how well it will clock or not? I don't want to buy something that's pants cos it's just a waste of time to me...

    I'm not sure, only from what I have read, something about a pin or something, I can't honestly remember :( But I have my new X99 rig sat next to me, so I'm wondering if it's even worth buying another 1366 CPU or two...

    I have two X5650's here in my SR2 but I was wondering about putting some hex cores in my 759 and 762 boards, the 920's are pretty good but I wouldn't say no to some hex cores in them too :D I didn't want to mod them as I have read that I could mod the boards to take the X5650's but I'd rather not..

     

    I suppose a cheap upgrade if I did use them from the SR2 but then I'd have to replace the ones in the SR2 and that might get costy lol

    Ram recommendations for X99 Benching...

    Thanks for the help :) I'll see if I can find some and how much :)

     

    Think the Trident Z stuff looks good, would hopefully be able to get away with one kit rather than two, as using one X99 for benching and one for daily/gamer..

     

    Figured 32Gb was a good safe amount to have considering the boards only got 4 slots...

     

    EDIT - Just found this stuff - http://www.gskill.com/en/product/f4-3200c14q-32gtz Is that the stuff you mean?

    Ram recommendations for X99 Benching...

    in Haswell-E (X99) OC

    Posted

    Having done a little benching with X99, I was wondering if someone might be able to advise a good set of ram for just benching with?

     

    I currently have some E Die G Skill that I have used in both Z170 and X99 which I was quite pleased with (as it was a quad kit) but I was wondering in the light of this B Die ram, is that the best bet or better bet for X99?

     

    I'm also after a 32Gb kit for gaming with, but I'm guessing anything would be good enough for a daily rig? :)

     

    Thanks in advance :)
