I'VE DONT SOME RESEARCH AND I'VE CHANGED SOME THINGS, SO TAKE A LOOK TAKE A LOOK AT MY NEW LSIT OF MY COMPONENTS I WANT IN MY PC, THAN TAKE A LOOK AT MY OLDER VERSION (THE OLDER VERSION IS UNDER THE NEW ONE)
Hello,
I am new to this website, and forums. I need help on which motherboard to choose, I am building my own gaming pc, with a lot of features and I don’t know if my motherboard will support all of them. I will not be overclocking.
I am looking for a motherboard with the nForce 680i chipset. Price is not an issue, and I have many components that I need my mobo to support.
Motherboards that I am interested in:
Asus Striker Extreme
EVGA 680i A1 or T1
Gigabyte GA-N680SLI-DQ6
Any others you suggest?
I’ve heard many bad reviews on the Asus Striker Extreme with problems on the BIOS, could someone tell me what the BIOS is bcuz I have no idea. They said they had problems with the BIOS when they overclocked, and since I am not going to overclock will I still have the same problem?
