Hi all,
Looking to build a 2500k-on-Z68 system very shortly. Like this week. And I need a board...
Priorities:
- B3 revision chipset. Must be well cooled and use good surrounding components.
- Durable and overclockable processor-related components. Solid state power caps and all that. I love Gigabyte for this reason.
- A usable video output for the onboard graphics. VGA/DVI would be ideal since they'd fit more random monitors in an emergency but I could live with HDMI.
I would simply go for the best Gigabyte I can find but the ones with video output all seem to use the 7 or 12 phase power setup rather than the 16 phase monster on the UD4... which has no VGA out... so am I missing my perfect GB board somewhere? Or is there another manufacturer I should be looking at?
I have heard ASRock is now good quality but memories of their cheap and nasty history do not fill me with confidence...
Help?
