Well. My 680i finally gave up the ghost :frown:. So I need a new motherboard. I've narrowed it down to either the Asus Rampage Formula or the UD3P. ARF (haha): Pros: Good reviews Performance Overclocking potential Comes with a soundcard ON SALE!11!! Cons: Some reviews talk about bad boards. 70USD more than the UD3P Some say that the drivers are weird UD3P: Pros: GREAT reviews 8 USB ports 70USD cheaper than the Cons: A few bad reviews. Overclocking? No soundcard, only onboard. I'm leaning toward the ARF. Can anyone help me decide?
I have the UD3P, it overclocks fine. You don't need a soundcard and every product is bound to get a few bad reviews.
People are more likely to go just to post a bad review then a good one.
My Asus PQ5-PRO turbo was open box about 80bucks does the work Asus is the way to go
Depending on your graphics setup, I'd look at the ASUS Maximus II Formula. Excellent board in all senses of the word.
Yeah. I'm Zombii by the way. I need a decent soundcard because my headset is the GameCom 377, and I have a GTX260. But I'm not going to Sli. They had an OB one a while back and I missed it. I think I'm going to go with the Rampage Formula.
Yeah go with PQ5 Pro, does the job.
