Hey guys... I can get a good price for my X58 board, RAM and CPU so I was thinking I could go P/Z67 with a 2600K and get 4.6Ghz + (woohoo!) :p

My budget is roughly £600 and for that I need a motherboard capable of Tri SLi @ x8 + A 2600K and 4-8GB of RAM

Also will my current LGA1366 Heatkiller LC 3.0 work on a P/Z67 board?

Thanks for reading, I look forward to your suggestions. ;)

No, the mounting holes are different. Unless you can get a replacement mounting bracket for Socket 1155.

You're looking at one of these:

£290-£300 a pop.

The Asus board is E-ATX so larger than normal ATX boards.


Motherboard £290-£300
2600K OEM £220 (until tomorrow morning) or retail £255
Corsair XMS3 1600MHz 4GB £40 or 8GB £72 (until tomorrow morning)

If you use the PC mainly for gaming a 2500K would be sufficient.

dont forget that the ASUS one will have no room for ANY other cards, unless your graphics cards are single slot. this is something joojar found to his cost a while back.

however, i do believe the gigabyte one will have one PCIe x1 slot free above the top graphics card

ask MSI (or overclockers) customer service about the MSI board regarding triple/quad SLI. there was a much cheaper motherboard that MSI claimed couldnt do SLI atall, when it actually could, and this was to do with advertising limits put upon MSI.

i also believe the guys at OcUK have done a big SLI build with this board, but im happy to be proven wrong here

*edit*
hmm, didnt know about them nf200 chips. might not do triple after all :(

Just what I read somewhere.

I may be proven wrong but I can't see any boards without NF200 chips that claim triple SLI support.

Saw that on the uGuru forum and I think another online review site mentioned it as well, I was looking around for confirmation on 3 way SLI.
 
hey guys, thanks for the response.

Shame about the Marshall, guess its down to the UD7 and the Maximus

Do you guys know if a Silverstone Tj07 supports eATX?

I'll be using custom water for this so no need for a cooler in your suggestions :)
