I have two other posts up about an ASUS P5K that I am having issues with and the supplier I used (lets call them scam) say it will take 7-10 days to get an RMA sorted.
I have quite a bit of proof on tech forums that they are issues with this board and will dispute the goods fitness for purpose with my CC card co if they refuse to refund so I am in the lookout for a new board.
So annoyed as I only orderrf from them due to OCUK being out of stock of the processor I wanted so I had to go elsewhere to get it (impatience ftl), so I ended up getting the mobo there as well.
So im resorting to OCUK for sure again, question is which mobo do I go for!?
Im tempted by the Abit IP35 vanilla or Pro, not sure of the Pro is really worth the extra £? Only dropping a E7650 into it, plan is later in the year to drop a new Quad into it once the new chips are out (possibly early into next year depending on price)
I hhave a GTX8800 and two sets of memory as I bought another set due to thinking the original GEIL set wasn't playing with the mobo.
So overall
8800GTX
600W gamestream PSU
Tuniq 120
2 sets of memory GEIL PC6400 ultra 4-4-4-12 2x1Gb and Gskill PC6400 PK 4-4-4-12
ideally due to buying 2 sets of RAM a board thats likely to be forgiving enough to accept both stes of ram
so ideas please
