Need a new SLI mobo

[saikiasunny]

But op is going for sli and close to none h67/h77 mobo is sli ready. So we suggested him the z77 mobos. And there is no rule that non k+z77/z68 combo are waste. And for extra features the op have to spend on better and expensive mobos.

I will only buy LOCKED non-'K' processors, i dont want to overclock at all. I am interested in ASUS Maximus IV, but i was looking for mobo below 10K.

Currently I have 3 Choices but all are above 10K!!!: (Considering that x16-x4 PCIe Configuration does not work with NVIDIA SLI!)

1. ASUS MAXIMUS IV GENE-Z @13.5K in Jaipur
2. ASUS P8Z77-M PRO Motherboard @13K in Jaipur.
3. ASUS P8Z77-V @15K in Jaipur.

Forget your choice given by shopkeeper.
Buy Intel DH67-CL @5.3K.
Don't waste money. If you can't get it from local shop, buy it from Flipkart.

if you buying locked cpu no need wasting your money on any of those mobos go with intel
Intel DH67-CL @5.5K
locked cpu +plus z77/z68 mobo- no sense

Im going for 2-way SLI, USB3 support. No DH67-CL doest offer these features.

^^ Ok then. Buy Asus P8H67-V @7.1K

Asus P8H67-V is SLI ready.
Two cards can run @ 8x-8x speed.

Asus P8H67-V is SLI ready.
Two cards can run @ 8x-8x speed.

Asus P8H67-V doesn't have PCIe 8x, it has PCIe 4x only.
Check here, P8H67-V doesn't support NVIDIA SLI, it supports AMD Crossfire, because NVIDIA SLI requires at least PCIe 8x !

As stated on NVIDIA forums:

1. sli with pcie x16 and x4
2. SLI on a 16x 4x motherboard

Ok then. Buy Asus P8Z77-M PRO at the cheapest rate you can get.

Yes thats what we were suggesting.
@ankur, now its your choice go for the msi one or the asus one

 

[ankurmay1988]
