Well hot darn the B3 boards seem to be rolling in at the egg tonight. Guess the drought is about over??

Sandy bridge fever is catching on

Simply a smokin platform ....

Sure is man. I can have a 24/7 gamer box and I'm just a HDD and BIOS reset from benching competitively. When my finances get better, and hopefully that's around s2011 launch, I'll go back to having a dedicated benching rig and keep the sandy clit as my game platform. I really don't think I'll need anything faster for games for a while. That's also why I'm thinking about going highend on the board because I want to use this for a long time. I don't wanna out grow the mobo.

i been playing cod bo and tryed crysis 2 demo on q6600 and 9800gt

its more of you want to upgrade when u dont need lol

i do for benching more then games

so you ordered the ud7 already? u know u want to :)

1. Umm I'm on a stock E8400 that is a total POS for overclocking. I get stuttering like mad in just about any multi-threaded game. Hell when I hit the spacebar to jump in Just Cause 2 or LFD2 my fps goes to almost zero.
   
   
2. Yes I want to upgrade. I'm so tired of not benching it is rediculous. Plus my reasoning that allows me to spend the money is that I can have a real use for it. I just can't afford to have a dedicated bench rig right now. Especially when I can't even play BFBC2 MP right now due to the retardedly low framerates.
   
   
3. No I haven't. I'm trying to really way my options here. I love how the board looks. It was the first P67 that I really wanted. The gigabyte boards do get a -1 for not having UEFI though. The maximus is the only other one I really "want". Anything else is just a comprimise. I'll be ordering soon enough. I just might have to give in and go cheap, or sell some more stuff and get what I want. :laughing:

@ Rickss69 - That TP67XE looks like a really nice board. I read the review on legit reviews. I would argue that it is the bang for buck board out there right now. Especially just for a play rig to bench with. Not that it can't handle gaming duty either. :thumbsup:

thats y i game on a quad core i use the 980 most of the time

but its in the garage waiting for ln2.. im going to do 2d and sell the cpu/mb/ram and get a gpu pot ;)

and save for 2011 and maybe new gpu i want one lol

I don't need no stinking uefi :taunt:

but it's so pretty with rainbows and unicorns :rofl

:laughing:

yeah, she sure does got a purdy bios

im at the point im actually considering my Athlon II x2 240 needs upgrading to sandy B for 24/7 and gamer setup :)

thats saying a bit (still using a 6850 and nvidoia 580 can suck it on the bench rig though. fucking nvidia cant even multi mon correctly POS)

seriously what n00bs bought into that company? Except benchers?
