Hey Vailr, could you elaborate why you recommend Gigabyte for my motherboard? I just wanted to know why you recommend this brand. I see that you listed varieties labeled "Ultra Durable" and wanted to know just how that is achieved.
For example, I understand that with the VRM, that quality...
That's the catch isn't it? How viable will Thunderbolt end up being a year or two from now?
But the bigger selling point is the 3x PCIe 3.0 vs 3x PCIe 2.0. Graphics will be a big thing for me on this rig. Not for games really, but more 3d rendering and processing.
I will probably not...
I did a comparison at motherboards.specout.com of those two Gigabyte boards and it was illuminating. So now I need to assess how important a Thunderbolt interface is to me, and of course PCI 3.0. The other features are pretty much the same except of course the LAN controller you mentioned. The...
I really like the 1st and 3rd boards you linked. I cannot use the 2nd because of it's LGA1151 and DDR4. I am leaning towards the 3rd (GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-UD5H) but need to research it against the first to narrow that down. Thank you sir!!
OK Thank you. That certainly gives me options to look at. There were a couple of other motherboards I have been looking at, the ASRock Z97 EXTREME6 and the Asus MAXIMUS VII GENE (pricey). Thank you for clarifying about the z97 chipset also. That answered one of my many questions.
So the...
WOW It's been a LONG LONG time since I posted a request for opinions here. My hiatus was brought to you by... YOU GUYS! Yeah! The last time I built a system for myself, it was back in 2007 and the advice you guys gave me led me to buy an A-Bit IP35 Pro. And yeah, that build you guys helped me...
The reason the caps blew, and they were not the same replaced ones, is because they were bad caps in the first place. When I searched about the problem, I found quite a few people that had the same issue with the same card. I have heard about (but haven't seen) this bad capacitor issue with...

Got the card via UPS at my work and after rerouting power from my PSU to all my components, and tearing apart my office for the extra power cables that were included with my Enermax, AND dusting out my rig after only a month and a half hiatus, I installed my new GTX 460 and...
I already pulled the trigger and I think it is too late to get that discount. If I like it though and I'm sure I will, I'll get another one for my new build. Thanks again for all the help!
