will appreciate a changed thread title or a new thread, mods?

 

[ankush28]

for 40k I think FX 6300 + m5a97 r2.0 will be much much better

+1 for starting new thread

One more tip use intel Z75 mobo in 50k it cost 4.6k

 

[Funny]

Where to find Gigabyte GA-H61M-D2H (rev 1.0)?
I have looked for online stores, but failed to find any. Any reference?
The mobo which is on FK is not rev 1.0 i.e no USB 3.0.

 

[ankush28]

H61 chipset dont have usb3
go for B75 chipset i.e. b75m-d3h

 

[ASHISH65]

^ actually h61 d2h (with usb 3 ) is not available in india.

fx setup will increase cost by 2k or so for the rig.

updated with Z75.

 

[Cilus]

Jas, suggest Z75 boards only with Non-K i5 Processors so that people can partially overclock it. I3 and Pentium Dual Core Processors don't have turbo boost at all and no matter what Motherboard you use, they can't be overclocked in any manner. And there is no point to suggest a Dual Core Processor like i3 3220 @ 6.9K where FX-6300 is available @ 7.3K only (in smcinternational). For FX-6300, you can use the Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3 board which is available @ 5.2K. It is 95W TDP CPU can be used and even overclocked with that board.

 

[ankush28]

Agreed^
-x-x-
Any opinion about Neo Dynamic computers they are offering 2k less as compare to prime plus few freebies and free assembling. it is shifted on ground floor same building of primeabgb.
Anyone has experience with this shop.

buying today so help asap.

bump!!

Good to go!

[ankush28]

M5A97 non evo version should be around 6-6.7k

 

[Cilus]

BTW, Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 is available at 6.6K in SMC. It can be a replacement for both Asus M5A97 and EVO version. As per the specs it has superior build quality and VRM design.

 

[AnmpuMedia]

BTW, Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 is available at 6.6K in SMC.

Does it need a BIOS update for FX6300 ?

650Ti Or 7790 ?

 

[ankush28]

^ no it doesn't need bios updating afaik
