AM3+ mobo required

[saurabh_1e]

Need a mobo for my phenom x6 1055T which will be overclocked to around 4Ghz 3.5~6Ghz only!!

1)Asus M5A97 PRO or EVO--->8.5k due to availability issue whichever is available will cos 8.5k........
2)Gigabyte 970A-UD3--->6.2-6.5k

Bugdet is max 8.5k!

Is CoolerMaster V6GT a good option to overclock my procy to 4Ghz ........
leaving for now!!

V6gt is a good cooler. I read in a review that installing it is a difficult task and it is quite heavy. CM Hyper 212 evo is a good and cheaper alternative. It will fulfill your OCing needs.

No. And its very noisy.
Buy Noctua NH-U12P SE2 @4K

For motherboard, buy ASUS M5A97 Pro.

IMO, go for the Gigabyte board because it has a notably better onboard audio chip. Of course this doesn't matter if you already have a good sound card.

970A-UD3. and thermalright ultra 120 Extreme rev C.(if u can get rev A that wud be the best) < Lap it & pair it with a high CFM Delta 120mm fan and you're set for 4.1 - 4.2GHz on ur 1055T..

1055T needs a little more Vcc to reach same clocks as 1090 or 1100 so good cooler is imp..

dude is the price difference of 2.3k justified!!

 

[thetechfreak]

Sorry. IT seems I misread this Asus for another one. TBH you dont need to spend premium. get the Gigabyte. sorry for wrong vote as I misread

Go for Gig avoid Rashi.

+1

Lame rashi

 

[saurabh_1e]

decided if the price difference between two will be less than 1.5k than i will go with Asus otherwise gigabyte....
price of gigabyte is not confirmed yet!!

 

[sumonpathak]

the Asus ones kicks giga's butt
honestly.

 

[saurabh_1e]

there is price difference of only 5$ go newegg but in India its more than 2k!!!
WTH!!

which one has better vrm setup???
will go with that one!!

 

[thebanik]

If you can increase the budget of cooler then will suggest SVGTech HOC20 for 5K. For mobo dont use Asus, so personally will suggest the Gigabyte Mobo....

 

[saurabh_1e]

Going giga then......
for cpu cooler
is hyper n620 for 1.8k a good deal.....

 

[$$Lionking$$]

I think u cud reconsider ur cooler requirements... ur already on 3.5GHz... even if u get an N620 you will only reach 3.7 to 3.9GHz... is investing 2k worth the 300-400MHz??

if anything u cud invest some on a good psu...

P.S. What are you going to do with the 890GXM?!

Got the point.
old mobo sold.
i thought hyper n620 can take the procy to ~4.0Ghz

Technically speaking Asus one is way better than Gigabyte. I don't understand on what basis people voted that Giga board. Only because of one of the distributor of Asus?

 

[$$Lionking$$]

@d6bmg -

1. You don't have to deal with that vDroop sh!t in the Gigabyte boards.. voltage is stable under load!.. (atleast in my board it is.. )

2. Better layout of PCIe & SATA.

3. Higher VRM count > 8+2 Phase vs 6+2 Phase on Asus

4. Proper blue screen BIOS. Asus has BIOS for kids with mouse support!
(I just dont get that UEFI thingy... sry!!)
