Gaming PC for around 60k

What kind of problems(just curious)

basically..the vcore would be unstable...in turn it will affect performance and stability.

Will it effect the lifetime of VRMs ?

yeah asrock z 77 extreme 6 cant overclock no wonder why it set the world record

[sumonpathak]

you have given no of evidence of asrock mobo llc problems ,if it your personal views stick it with yourself, if some can live without the ivy bridge ,i dont see any problems with slightly increased power consumption ,year a 16000 board + soundcard , your posts shows you are blind asus believer

dude...i have changed board more than u will ever do in ur life time...so stop bullshitting...am begging you..
as far as i have seen the vcore and other voltages are heavily increased by the asrock bios in windows environment...and dats bad news...u will get more perf initially and gradually ur chip will degrade and one fine dy it will go the silicone heaven....
btw...for your info...my first board ever was an asrock...back then they used to make decent boards...
now all they do is call other companies cheat and fake and unreal...

Will it effect the lifetime of VRMs ?

yes..

that was a cherry sample...u know dat...right?
62X multi...108Bclk...single core validation

@dfcols71 and @sumonpathak
CHILL GUYS!! It is just a motherboard the world is not going to end (though i must admit i enjoyed the fight )

 

[sumonpathak]

^^am cool

 

[dfcols71]

i haven nothing more to say in this matter except any individual experience against multitude of reviews you be the judge

 

[Saumil996]

Now can someone please help me choose between the gigabyte and asus motherboards i shortlisted earlier and i am open to other boards too except the extreme 4

 

[sumonpathak]

both looks pretty good on paper...jo mile le lo

 

[dfcols71]

saumil pal more than enough advice and reviews have already been given ,it for you to make the choice

 

[d6bmg]

i would be more worried of the quality of sound on asus boards except for deluxe and sabretooth all other asus boards use the intel sound chip instead of realtek or similar stuff

And

besides thre asrock has the Audio Chip, ALC898

If you are so much worried about Audio chip being used in motherboard, then,
Either you (or the concerned persons) should buy a sound card (again Asus Xonar STX/D2/HDAV/D1/H6 are the best, lot better than Creative x-fi cards) from Asus. <-- See here we go with Asus once again.
Or, Buy ROG series boards with inbuilt SupremeFX X-Fi.

besides why dont you link all the stats to show asus in true picture

Enlighten us with true picture please.

d6mbg and suman pathak keep your personal preference to yourselves instead of trying to gang against a mobo manufacturer without any evidence at all

Talking about personal preference, I have/had motherboards from Asus, Gigabyte, MSI & AsRock (this AsRock board is of Socket 478, imported from USA in 2003, long long before AsRock made its entry in Indian Market), and almost same thing goes with Sumon, so its not about personal preference for us (at least me), its all about quality and durability.

And You have AsRock Z77 Extreme6. Ironic isn't it? Specially when people always think that they own teh best brand/thing in the market.


I'm not saying all AsRock boards are bad.
Its Z68-extreme4/extreme6 were good vfm boards.

But the problem is with Z77 extreme4.


When people have limited amount of budget its good to have option with cheap (money wise) boards like these, but suggesting Z77-extreme4 in 60K,80K threads are nothing but stupidity.
Same thing goes with suggesting Z77 boards with 2500K & 2600K. Sheer waste of money.

About that LLC problem, I would like to suggest you to OC your 2600K to, say, 4.5GHz. You have to set everything manually. Do that for, say, 7-8 hours, 1 week at max. You will, yourself, can see the problem. (Before doing this, confirm the warranty T&C from Mediaman)

*Peace*

@OP: Buy what you feel is the best. This post is not meant to you.

Anyway i have narrowed my list down to
1. Asus p877 v-lx
2. Gigabyte GA Z-77 d3h (If i can find it in the market)

My vote will go for Gigabyte GA Z-77 d3h.
For availability, check with SMC International.

Did you bother to go to the review,you keep flogging a dead horse without substantiating anything the performance among all those boards are almost the same except for power
consumption where the asrock slightly worse off,and in audio much better than asus,if the board was having a major problem, they wouldn't be lots of people buying it when they can get similar priced ,better quality mobos.d6bmg-all you keep saying because its cheap its got to be bad,without giving any supporting evidence,talking about past 3 generation asrock mobos quality is in no way going to take away asrock z77 extreme4 good features @vfm
you keep saying ,it cant overclock beyond a certain limits ,but lots of user are getting it to 4.6-4.7 with ivy here in these forums as well as lots of guys purchasing it
**Official** ASRock Z77 Discussion/Owners Club
Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 Owners Thread - AnandTech Forums
you have not produced any hard evidence it cant overclock decently,nor is there any evidence that its long term stability of the board is a problem .when you come up with those evidence we can talk,until that ! you may be the blowing the propaganda of asus afaik

Now I have a 40-inch TV connected to an Onkyo 3400 Home theater. I would like to game on that sometime. So should i connect the PC's HDMI cable directly to the AVR or should i connect the S/PDIF Out (assuming i buy the gigabyte board) to the AVR and connect the VGA out to the TV??

 

[dfcols71]

gaming is determined more by gpu than mobo/cpu@ high resolution ,besides whats the resolution of tv and graphics card,only thing a decent mobo and high/medium cpu is recommended not to bottleneck your gaming-mobo dvi-d/hdmi port to tv hdmi port is the best

 

[Saumil996]

^^
I forgot the TV has HDMI ports too! .

But sound is controlled by AVR. most of the devices like tata sky hd, dvd player etc. are connected to the AVR. so my basic question is should i connect the pc to the avr via HDMI or the tv via HDMI and the AVR via S/PDIF for enjoying 5.1 channel surround sound?

 

[Saumil996]

I have lots of little noob questions .should i post them here or should i start a new thread in hardware q&a section?

 

[sumonpathak]

shoot

 

[Saumil996]

first.

1. I which direction should i orient the cpu cooler?
2. should i attach the cpu cooler once i put the motherboard(with the backplate attached) in the case or before.
3. even though the hyper 212 evo has a continuous direct contact thingy its base is flat and looks like a sungle surface so should i use the rice grain on cpu method or two lines on heatsink method
