Need a new asus mobo

233 · 28 Sep 2013 at 08:20

Having recently bought a asus 7970 cu II I'm now looking at the possibility of picking up a asus mobo with the VGA Hotwire voltage control malarkey to cream the pants off my GPU

Basically I'm looking for a reasonably priced ( lol ROG) board to drop my 2600k in without melting my credit card.

Priorities would be good clocking and preferably something that can go in a SFF but that's not too important

What would you recommend ocuk?

afaik the VGA hotwire is only possible on the extreme ROG board so your option is this

YOUR BASKET
1 x Asus Z77 Maximus V Extreme Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £259.99
Total : £270.79 (includes shipping : £9.00).

Not SFF and also pricey.

Not sure if the vga hotwire is worth it tbh

oooft

don't suppose theres a cheaper alternative to that £270 notes is a tad pricey for a mobo in my book
