Which Chipset would be the best for E8500 and/or Q9550

[surda]

which chipset for socket 775 would be the best out of all these, im kinda going to open a big place for a netcafe, so gonna order about 20 comps, i want the best for gaming.

cpu im going to use is gonna be both of E8500 and Q9550

Ram DDR2 on most,might get some with DDR3

260 GTX Nvidia card, Single not doing SLI

WD 750 Harddisk

G31
G33
G35
G41
G43
G45
p31
p35
P43
P45
Q33

740i
750i
780i
790i
7050
7100
7150

I guess no one bothered to read my post. Surda, please reply with that info. It will be easiest.

Laluma22, just please stop. Your embarrassing yourself.

 

[laluma22]

well if you think that maybe you should read some benchmark tests and i do know what is the best.

and i also do know thatintel mainboards and gigabyte are that one who build exactly how it should be!!!! so 4745454b or however I am NOT embarasing myself cause i know what i am talking about..

i am sry for attacking you a bit 4745454b!

Your humility is an inspiration to us all (your grammar, not so much!).

Please.

It is hard to understand your English.

 

[laluma22]

myabe not the english maybe it is just of no punktuation

 

[laluma22]

well if you think that.. maybe you should read some benchmark tests, cause i do and i really do know what mobos are good.

and i also do know that intel mainboards and gigabyte mobos are the one who build exactly how it should be!!!! so 4745454b or however I am NOT embarassing myself (maybe with wrong gramar 😛) cause i do know what i am talking about..

i think now it is better

To be honest, it is usually not the mobo maker that determines performance of a chipset, rather the chipset itself plays a major role.

However, unless you require more advanced RAID or higher bandwidth for Crossfire or SLi, the other chipsets are useless.

There is little difference running a Core 2 Duo in a G41 chipset with a HD 4890 rather than running it with a P45. The differences are too minute to make a major difference.

However, this is different when it comes to overclocking.

Usually P45 motherboards will out OC the G41. That's were brand matters. The higher build quality of the board, the higher the OC.

 

[4745454b]

And thats also where brand matters, as Intel boards don't (normally, I hear there are exceptions from time to time) allow overclocking. I would have thought someone like laluma22 would have known that for how smart he claims. Asus/Asrock and others "build exactly how it should be", so its ok to use them as well.

 

[amdfangirl]

Yeh, forgot to add that.

 

[laluma22]

thats what you think as i have worked for a pc parts reseller i know that so what ever you are thinking of, asus does not build like it should be just "asus" and i do know that
for 99% there are some exceptions on boards they had to do as fast for reselling them that are in most cases the boards from the begingn of a new chipset.

ok i have viewed some benchmarks, and to be honest, other brands seems to be better than what intel motherboard offers, and also u cant always overclock on intel motherboards, but can on the other brands, this doesn't make sense actualy, it should been the other way around.

so after getting these cons from intel motherboards, i assume intel only focuse on making cpu's and SSD's, but as for motherboards they dont put too much effort in it, however i might be wrong.

right now, i have seen alot of performance coming from asus and gigabyte, ASRock as will but comes at third but while having extra features, so its gonna be either Asus gigabyte or ASRock.

@4745454b: i live in usa.

 

[laluma22]

ehm...i have today oc on a intel dx58so from 2,66 to 3,4Ghz on stock at 73C at low voltage

but never mind your choice^^
take a gigabyte^^

No, that's pretty much the way it's always been.

No, you're right.

ASrock is the budget arm of Asus IIRC, so once again you're on the right track.

 

[SpidersWeb]

I'd recommend P45 for your application as well.
I'd go with Asus or Gigabyte. Not sure about your country, but here the biggest range of options and prices comes from Asus.

Look at prices and pick out your favourites, we can help pick a favourite.

 

[4745454b]

Sorry, from the name I was thinking India.

If your in the states, you should be able to use newegg. Whats the $$$ per board you can spend? I'd go for P45/P35, or P43 if you have to. Once we know how much you can spend per board, you should be able to get some good suggestions.

 

[amdfangirl]

Personally I like Gigabyte. They have always had great customer service and reliability.

I'd go with a G31 or G41. The cost savings do add up .
