check it out.
I'm thinking of getting this one...

 

[gvayl]

is no one but me interested in this?
Is there a better mobo in the same price range then this? I kind liked anandtechs review of this one...and the fact that it supports full ntune functionality.

I may buy it also. Just waiting for the reviews on newegg

For me its not really much of a money thing. I don't want to buy a mobo for $200. I did that once and didn't use half of its features(not counting overclocking). I don't need SLI. I prefer 1 card. Also I won't mind if my overclock is 90% of what it would be with say a 680i. Also I like the fact that the eVGA has full support of nTune features. The windows bios controls for the Asus like boards look really weird...like I'm at an arcade or something. Whereas nTune looks more professional. I know this is just aesthetics..not that important compared to what the hardware is like. Anandtech, however thought that the hardware part of the board was good. So I probably will shoot for this one too...


Oh...I wouldn't wait for newegg reviews...can you really trust them? I heard newegg filters their reviews,

[tuan209]

wasnt this board suppose to be sub 100?

 

[gvayl]

[Corporate Thug]

pretty damn good overclocking for a passively cooled ~$100 board.

[tuan209]

yup....i will probably pick this one up for a 2nd rig when the prices drop to about 100.

 

[gvayl]

When do you think that might be, the price drop I mean...?

 

[Dwarefy]

Me too I'm really looking forward to these cards coming out in canadian market

Ncix don't have them yet and I cannot wait LOL

 

[Dwarefy]

None saw them anywhere ??!!

Waiting for the A1 model. The T1 only has a 2 year warranty while the A1's is lifetime.

 

[gvayl]

I thought USB was the only diff between the two...

 

[gvayl]

This is really weird: The MSRP's on both the A1 and T1 models just went up by $20 on evga's website.

 

[TheMold]

Yea just saw that myself. PC Perspective's review is where I saw the difference in the warranties. The A1 also includes a printed manual while the T1 is on a cd as well as the warranties and usb ports.

 

[PCTC2]

well, I ordered one for my E4400 pc.
We'll see how it goes...

 

[Dwarefy]

Give us feedbacks!!

Just picked this up from ZZF for $98.99 (AR) along with the E6600.
I'm building a new semi-kick-ass gaming rig with these.
What RAMs do you recommend for this mobo.
Tempting on these Corsair 2gbx2 sticks

 

[Aeridyne]

I bought it. I like it pretty good so far, although i have an issue with the Sata raid conflicting with my IDE raid pci card... need to figure that out

haha. just kidding... i had to cancel the order. I put a huge order in b/c I finally got some cash in my pocket so I was building a new desktop for my office and a HTPC, but my car died... so much for the computers...

ZZF had it for $89 then jacked it up to $99 the next day. I believe the northbridge is the same as the 680i. (But the SB is different, no biggie) Just make sure to cool everything well and this board should give everything that 680i gives. (except SLI, of course)
