need Suggestion for new Amd Rig

[ajai5777]

My priority order goes like this
Asus-->MSI-->Gigabyte-->Biostar

well ... along with all suggestions u can take a look on ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO motherboard + ATI radeon 5770 or 8000 series ..just google

ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO is not VFM. You can boards from MSI or GB 785 boards @ <=5K.
EVO costs 6.5K. Have the prices gone down ?

IGP chipsets are more OC'ble.

880G, 890gx, 790fx are reviewed, tested and compared with a 790G board and posted in this forum's review section. Most are pretty much the same, although 890G and 790FX can give pretty good overclocks. As I said- as far as PERFORMANCE is concerned, there's not much different.

i already told VX550W will support but with a cabinet full of power hungry goodies, better stick to a better one.

Assuming its a system with 3-4 HDs with moderate overclocks on the processor alone, it will suffice.

for MSI, should mention the word "value".

Service/replacement is erratic. Asus is worse but few claim otherwise. Some 785g board from Asus had weird issues with a corsair xms3 ram which ran on 1t and was not Linpack stable despite running on stock with all the values being mentioned manually, even the new ones. I wish that was the end of it but then again 890G pro something which someone bought despite my criticism had some weird issue. Not only the 1t issue, but also some odd issues with 1090T. Don't get me wrong- asus makes good hardware, bios and service simply makes you look somewhere else. After getting your hands dirty with gigabyte's bios and then asus' bios, you would probably make the same conclusion and prefer to stick with gigabyte. But once you figured out the ups and downs of asus' issues and learn to somewhat tame it, it works as it should. Then again- why take the hassle? Gigabyte board are bit expensive compared to other counterparts, but you do get what you pay for. One should always have a good enough case with decent enough power supply and a good case as it makes a lot of difference in long term.

FYI, gigabyte boards are available in Pune from a store called ankita sales. If you have a problem as far as availability is concerned, get it from a neighbouring store like primeabgb.com

true. OC ability just got a 200Mhz boost. enough to give a few couple of extra FPS. nothing more.

Assuming its a system with 3-4 HDs with moderate overclocks on the processor alone, it will suffice.

oh never knew it'll suffice. thanks for clearing my doubts BTW.

so my prediction came true. bug still affecting motherboards. they got such huge lineup of boards, issues like this should be common.

also Gigabytes pricing is almost same as Asus. so better stick to one which don't give unnecessary headaches.

 

[The Sorcerer]

so my prediction came true.

As far as my observation/experience goes, its happening since P5Q days. My 800mhz cl5 was stable on stock only when one of the bios release came out in January of last year.

 

[pulsar_swift]

No No. I already purchased my RIG in APRIL

 

[The Sorcerer]

^^ Just letting you know.
BTW, even if its not available there, if you put out the comment in regards to availability, issues with RMA, etc. on gigabyte's facebook page, they see what can be done and try to get it resolved, provided the query is a practical one.

 

[pulsar_swift]

wow, thats great. May be i will for GB,if required when i upgrade to X6 next year. My current 785 EVO supports X6

 

[Hsakarp_kahtap]

thanks to all of you for your comments and valuable suggestions.

 

[pulsar_swift]

go for a bigger cabinet,if you plan to crossfire. It will help in heat dissipation a lot .

thanks pulsar swift for your suggestion, but i will crossfire next year , so buy better cabby and cosair hx650 at that time.

 

[pulsar_swift]

good. fix to the corsair HX650. One good PSU

 

[Hsakarp_kahtap]

one more question is i7 930 is more powerful than amd 1055t at stock speed .purpose is same but it will extend my budget by 5-7k, if i skip my hdd nd dvd-rw.

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

i7 930 is anyday better than 1055t in all purposes. but you will also need to spend on a x58 chipset board. the lowest on costs 11k.

 

[pulsar_swift]

if you have the money to go for i7. Then its the best option
