First off, I am not concerned with price. I would like your opinions on the following boards for an i7 build.
ASUS P6T Deluxe V2
ASUS Rampage GENE
ASUS Rampage II Extreme
EVGA X58 3X SLI
EVGA Classified
What i will be using for:
Gearing towards the gaming enthusiast and programming multitasker, little 3D rendering if any. I also would very much like to delve into OC'n and am not too familiar with each boards BIOS UI, how does ASUS compare to EVGA BIOS?
Miscelaneous:
i like the idea of the onboard contacts for my meter on the classified, however i do not know much about ASUS's product line or their tech support. I know EVGA's support is badass since i am currently building an i7 for a friend specs are below
Friends i7 build:
CPU: intel i7 920
RAM: Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600
GPU: 512 Nvidia gForce 9800GT
OS: Vista Ultimate 64-Bit / SP1
PSU: Corsair 750W
Simply put, I have only worked with one of these boards (EVGA X58 3XSLI). I'm sure alot of you either own or have worked with some, if not all, of the above mentioned boards. I'm looking for opinions on both ASUS and EVGA manufacturers board layout, style, bios, etc... what do you guys think should i try ASUS or stick with EVGA? I hear ASUS tech support is poop however i have never used it. Let me know what you think, thanks in advance.
It also looks as if I am limiting myself to either ASUS or EVGA, which is not the case. If you can prove another manufacturers x58 mobo is better please link
(anyone heard of any boards set to release in Q4 of 2009 or 2010 you think i should hold out for or know a good website i can check out for future info?)
