Please suggest a VFM mobo for i7-950 (buying it as price is halved now :) )

Preferred Brand : ASUS

*I have to use it with 1600MHz Triple Channel RAM
 
I agree with desecrator :)

Also check for the asus x58 TUF Sabertooth and if its available.. 200 $ board on newegg , so should be around 13-14k and looks good too

Cheers and kind regards :)
 
+1 to sabertooth !! it has ceramic cooling tripple channel cf & sli ready OCs great ! buy off i7 920 2.66 . you can 0c to 4.2ghz even in air ... 920 costs 12k save 3 k & buy off water cooling unit from lark cooling its around 6k

@ toolius : digit mag have mention price of saber tooth as 17.5 k in india !! :(
 
Already Ordered SABERTOOTH X58 during the No Shipping Fest at Ebay.In GEB. Should be here in about 15 days and would let you know bout the performance.

However even after the fest has ended there is a marginal price difference of Rs. 450 at GEB.

I would highly recommend the board as it is Extremely Low on Power Consumption (Unbelievably Lower The MSI) and Temperatures.

If you are getting a 920/930 and plan to OC it then do opt ONLY FOR Dual Radiator Air Coolers (Noctua NH-D14/Tuniq Tower 120 Extreme/Antec Kuhler BOX/COGAGE Arrow), As you will get plenty of configuration options for air cooling.

GODSPEED

That's a very important point you have mentioned i feel.

Most X58 motherboards, irrespective of brand i think, run 1333Mhz RAM by default and higher speeds only under OC.

You may check the specs and Memory QVL for the ASUS P6T SE, P6T, etc.

Though i am yet to read up (or try out if possible) more on this, it seems from initial look that Sabertooth X58 may not have that limitation.

That might have been the M.R.P. as it is usually with prices in mags.

A few friends are eagerly waiting for the Sabertooth X58 to arrive here- expected soon and to be priced very competitively from what i have heard. :)

I have heard it may be available locally sooner than that- fingers crossed. :)
 
yep.. just spoke to prime and they said should be around 13-14k ..

If thats the case then Asus has a Winner on its hands :)

wicked board and wicked price.. great stuff all around :D
 
good stuff bro !! :)

That board looks fantastic for sure.. i love the military color scheme.

The component quality is Awesome too. Personally i think this board is going to be hard to beat in-terms of cooling and power efficiency.

cheers bro.. !!
