Re: i7 920 or PII X6 1090T

Now the biggest question of all 1055T or 1090T.
i'm in favour of 1090T cuz of unlocked multi.
wud let me go higher and wont be limited by FSB wall & ram too wont be the holding factor.
lemme know if i'm wrong.
For the cooling part, cabby is CM 690 with 5 120mm fans running and cpu colloing done by CM Hyper N620.
Will go to SMC prolly 2morrow evening and get it.

well mostly all boards with usb3 are close to 10k or more.

i would suggest the asus m4a785td-v evo. its a very nice, solid & well built board. it will oc very well too. it selling for Rs.6,500 - 6,700 locally. you wont get usb3 though.

the 1055 or 1090 depends on how far you are going to push. as u said you are buying cause you want to overclock & budget is no issue then go for the 1090t. but if you are not gonna overclock to v high numbers then you could settle for a 1055t.

Congrats mate, how much did you pay for the MSI 890GXM-G65 mobo ? I've been trying to find one here in Mumbai, but unable to find any 8xx series mobo's from gigabyte so far :(
 
Re: i7 920 or PII X6 1090T

Congrats. Did it recognize the proccy without the bios update or did you do any sort of those things?
 
Re: i7 920 or PII X6 1090T

why did you go for a mATX board? i felt that board was really cramped when i wanted to get it....
 
Re: i7 920 or PII X6 1090T

cuz SMC did not have any full ATX size 890GX series mobo..
ATX mobos wre of 890Fx chipset.
