I asked a couple months ago about a good motherboard for the 2600k and I was told one that actually works. have the issues with the sandy bridge boards been fix? what is the board you guys recommend? thank you in advance.
 
The new B3 boards are shipping now. How much are you looking to spend? Pretty hard to recommend a board without knowing what you are looking for, feature-wise.

Yup.

The MSI GD 53/55/65 are good buys with easy overclocking and SLI/Xfire support and good pricing, but we need more info.
 
I had a memory slot die on my Asus P67pro within a week of owning it. Did a google search on it and it seemed to be a problem showing up on some of the boards. I just purchased a MSI GD 65 from the egg based pretty much on the review here and my disgust with the whole Asus rma crap. Happy hunting..
 
Just looking for something to maybe play battlefield 3 and have it store my music and photos. Don't really game on my pc anymore so a single gpu would be fine. Not looking for sli or anything like that. Not going to go water either. Just want to install the noctua dh. I want something stable. Thank you. Ripping cd's playing Mkv files an streaming thats maily what I will be using the system for.
 
Maybe consider the 2500K? I'm not sure about MSIs offerings, but the Asus P8P67 is a good choice, maybe the Gigabyte P67A-UD3 - for your needs the boards are probably all about the same so whatever you can find a good price on would work.
 
I have had my GD55(B3) 2600K up for about 5 days.

Awesome baord for the price, if i could have gotten a GD65 it would have been better but not a big deal.

coming from a E8400@3.8 this thing flys.
 
The Intel® Desktop board DP67BGB3 should be showing up at resellers shortly (maybe another week), it is a rock solid performance board, that is designed to give you the best out of your Intel Core™ I7 2600K.

I think Intel has done a much better job over past few years in there board offerings, however for build quality I do not think they hold a candle to MSI.

What' wrong with Intel build quality?
 
The B3 are the fixed boards. Even the boards with that bug are not really that bad since you can install SATA 6GB/S HDD...
