There's a lot of overclocking related mobo discussions here (obviously), but why get a mobo for 100-200€if you can get one for 50€ if OC:ing is not an option? Assuming you don't want to connect a lot of extras/need usb3/sata3/integrated GPU/pcie3.
Will the more expensive ones last longer on average? Any noticable performance differences with memory/CPU/PCIE?
All mobos have fan controllers for the CPU I assume... like, to make it run slower when not needed?
I'm buying a i5 3570 CPU or something along those lines with a:
53€:
ASUS P8H61-M
or
50€:
MSI H61M-P21 (B3)
or
68€ (expensive
):
MSI B75MA-P45 (considering just for 1600 mhz memory - SATA3/USB3 too even if I don't need that heh, not sure what else differs)
Do you think the last one could be better quality or better performance (assuming I'd use the same RAM/CPU of course). Or other better budget options out there? Thank you for any help
