gaming QPACK mobo suggestions?
- Thread starter PatrickK
- Start date
if you really want to go intel on matx, then that mobo is good. there was another person on this forum that was getting it but no word from him and the mobo yet. some have said that it is possible to run crossfire on it due to the pci-e x4 slot having no end to it. no word yet on the overclocking side, but i've heard some don't oc too far.
there is a sticky in this forum with a list of overclockable matx mobos, intel and amd. best to start there.

Disillusion got it, check out his thread in the Gallery.aiya said:
The Intel mobo that MIGHT be Crossfire-able is this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813130530
This is the thread the link came from: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1020338
The PSU w/ the QPACK is ok, i would use it if youre using an aftermarket video card, but if you use onboard video with a basic setup then its ok.
To overclock with S775 i recommend this board highly:

If you want to go the P-M route like i did i would also highly recommend it by buying the AOpen i915GMM-HFS here:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813137061&ATT=13-137-061&CMP=OTC-pr1c3grabb3r
EDIT: I would also recommend this CPU instead:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819116003
it runs much cooler, its 65nm, and can OC to about 5ghz if the board can do it.

Thats fair enought; just thought i'd find out any reason why particularly it has to be intel. I was just providing an alternative as well.
Personnaly I still think AMD offers the best bang per buck and the better option but thats my 2p.
Me being a Intel fan myself has to say that is a pretty good setup there. I really want a Intel SLI or Crossfire mATX board though, maybe there be a mATX 975x soon. Anywho, I would hit that purchase button before you have any second thoughts

Not trying to start anything, just trying to understand why someone would like a particular product so I can offer my thoughts and my own opinions. I'm not going to start a 'war' just offering a different solution to a problem.
It can't harm to have all the options presented to the user at the end of the day.and I wasn't saying he must buy AMD and that they rule the earth and that their going to take over the world but simply that imho that AMD is the better platform at the moment.
Is it ok for me to offer my opinion and advise?
He SPECIFICALLY SAID NO AMD. He asked to be left alone about it and wanted to know about Intel motherboards and wanted those opinions only. It is his thread not yours. If you have an Intel suggestion give it. Otherwise head over to the Processor forums and flame away.Firelord said:
To the OP good choices you got there from some of the people in this thread. Hope it all works out for ya...

He's not flaming, you're bordering on it though.
Asking for reasoning and offering an alternative, without pushing for it, is perfectly acceptable and normal in a discussion forum.
Dot folder, I'm curious what he gets, as I'm thinking along this route as well.
Thanks lopoetve thats what I was trying to do. Not pushing any product just offering solutions. I'm not adverse not to using intel; their defacto standard at my office just interested in reasonings.
No need to get so up tight operaman.
Have you considered a Pentium M system such as a P-M 750 with a AOpen 915 board? Nice and cool and clock well

Sorry, I was not flaming, but posters should specifically follow directions of OP. If someone starts a thread we should show the common courtesy to respect that individual's opinion. Period.lopoetve said:
He was very polite in his request. It was not like a Nvdia pwns ATI or vice versa. Either way, I am interested in what this guy gets as well though I am pretty set with what I got going on myself...
