Hey guys (and any gals).
I was all set with my new 990fx board for Bulldozer and am seriously disappointed (like everyone else), but alas I decided to build my first Intel based machine that I've used since my first store bought PC back in the Celeron 1.1ghz eMachine days.....
I have no idea what to look for when it comes to Intel stuff (cuz I've been using AMD for so long), can you please help me?
I've got an i5-2500k, paired with a 6950 (x2 later, possibly), a 240gb SSD, and 16 gbs of http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226199. I need a mobo, that will support this as a beginner overclocker, and give me room to grow in the future.
One thing I've read about these 1155 boards is that they require 1.5v RAM...will I run into problems with my current memory?
Thanks for your help in advance. I know nothing of Intel tech/cpus & mobos, so thanks.
I prefer to not use Asus, for personal reasons :-D
Thanks again!
