MY BUILD PLAN IS DESTROYED :'(

beasty6 · 6 Dec 2010 at 11:12

hello guys,

basically i was going to order my new build in about a weeks time and the mobo i was going to run is no longer on the site :'(

the mobo was a msi p55 GD-80

im accurately really dissapointed as it was only £109.99 and could run SLI and the OC Genie was really something i wanted to use as i have never overclocked in my life

Things go in and out of stocks all the time I would imagine. Have you tried calling OCUK to ask about availability of this item in the comming weeks?

beasty6 · 6 Dec 2010 at 11:16

no it was on the mobo's list and i just went back to check on something and its no longer on the list at all

Just get this board: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-248-GI&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1495

It's the one OCUK use in some of their OC'd bundles.

Or look at what is available, Gigabyte/Asus can't be that bad if OCUK sell them.

Andi.

beasty6 · 6 Dec 2010 at 11:19

the only thing thats setting me back is being albe to run SLI

skylineboy · 6 Dec 2010 at 11:19

have a look around? Then get the rest here?

beasty6 · 6 Dec 2010 at 11:20

yep at £157.99 !!!!

skylineboy · 6 Dec 2010 at 11:22

I'd remove the name. I would have a look at a different board then.

beasty6 · 6 Dec 2010 at 11:24

Hagar · 6 Dec 2010 at 12:06

Not here - would have to go for the UD4 for £150, but you'd get USB3 and SATA3 as a bonus. GD80 is available plenty of other places for about the same price as it was in here - just google.

Alternatively, tell yourself instead of SLI/x-fire you'll just sell and buy a better single GPU when the time comes. That's what most people do anyway despite their original plans for 'I'll SLI later'. Then get a P7P55D-E or a UD3.

beasty6 · 6 Dec 2010 at 14:20

is it worth the extra £30 ???

Liampope · 6 Dec 2010 at 14:26

Well, were you to add a USB3/SATA3 controller card to your GD80 at some time in the future you decided you wanted those features, it would cost about that. So I guess it's worth it if you want those features! Otherwise just get the GD80 (or GD65 is pretty good too) from an alternative supplier.

Invertigo · 6 Dec 2010 at 14:29

Have a look at other stores for the MSI P55-GD65 maybe? I'm running it myself and it's not given me any troubles. It's SLI certified too. Picked mine up for £90 2 weeks ago, as I didnt see the point in spending £20 extra on the GD80 for minimal extra features

cmndr_andi · 6 Dec 2010 at 14:34

One option is to wait for sandy bridge to come out (January 9th) and get a SLI/CF board s1155 (P67). Also, it looks like these new boards will do USB3/SATA 6G better than current s1156 boards.
