I currently have an evga 680i sli a1 that I am rma'ing for the third time since Feb. of this year.
I am tired of the constant downtime and my wife is tired of me taking over her computer so I'm going to sell the board and get something else. (I must add here that the customer service at evga is excellent.)
I'm thinking about the p35 chipset. With the multitude of boards available I have no idea what to get. First I was thinking dfi, but then I read about their horrible customer service. Then I read that gigabyte is the best, then I read that Asus has the best offering, then somebody else says that abit is better?? I built my wifes computer with an asus p4c800e deluxe, yeah it's old but it still works a charm, so I'm familiar with asus. Seems like the more I read the more confused I get.
I want something that I can play with. I don't get into serious oc'ing but I like to dabble. I want a board that is stable and most of all I want a board that won't die on me 3 times within a one year period.
I have an e6600, evga 8800 gtx, 4 gig ocx pc6400 ddr2 800mhz, 2 500 gb hdd non-raid, sythe ninja w/ 120mm fan and three more 120 mm fans in a lian li v1000b.
I don't need sli or cf, I don't need raid, I'm not concerned with ddr3 atm, I want something with decent onboard audio. I'm not concerned about upgradeability, when the time comes, I'll just build a new computer and give this one to my wife.
I do like to game.
Money is no concern, I want the best board that will meet my needs and more.
