Hello,
My thread title pretty much sums up the entire thread.
My current build is I7 950
Asus-P6T-SE these X58 chipset motherboard (1366) are so damn constrained atm and the components are still "newish if you know what i mean"
I wish they would revise some x58 MBS and integrate some native Sata III and USB instead of the 3rd party versions.
My old setup was (the one I've passed to my wife)
E8500
and P5Q-E
This setup last SOOO long with no restrictions practically.
I mean this setup is still wrecking oc'd between 3,8-4ghz and runs so cold it makes me nostalgic....
I'm really thinking of moving away from those ASUS P series MBs after this experience of it getting outdated nearly instaniously.
So what do you think my best option would be?
Upgrade for example to the SAPPHIRE PURE BLACK X58 MB, and wait it out for example another 1 or 2 years?
(my watecooling kit should be arriving within one or 2 days and I can finally push this i7, only reason i bought it is beause my Artic 7 freezer pro no longer seems to be at the top and is starting to give signs of wear..)
Or is there some kind of new tech coming out this year already that might be interesting/affordable?
I've ALWAYS GONE INTEL, should I stay along that line?
Please help, I'm starting to pull my hair out here (thinking about my usb speeds and my SSD performance taking quite a hit due to the p6t-se only have sata II ports -_-)
thank you!!
