Club for those with beastly mATX/ITX rigs. - Page 398

post #3971 of 7476
what's the best Matx board for 1366? Asus stuff or? interested in building something for this.
post #3972 of 7476
I'd dearly love any advice available over in my Prodigy thread; I've never used an intel m-ITX board before so advice would be appreciated. Last time I used SFF it was a Shuttle S145G v2... that was over 8 years ago!

The Asus Rampage III Gene is good.
Avoid the EVGA mATX board since that has problems.

I think those are the only two mATX 1366 boards.

EDIT: There is also the MSI X58M board. That has no VRM cooling so I don't recommend using it.

You can try the EVGA board but if I had to choose between them, I'd get the Asus board. Better features.

I've been using the MSI without issues, 24/7.

So ever since I flipped the PSU in my SG05 upside-down, my CPU temps have been sky-rocketing. Just now Oblivion crashed when a core hit 95C. I think it's an airflow issue because the temp climbs pretty slowly. Now, that makes sense because there's so little room in the case and only one fan. But I'm just not comfortable letting the PSU be the exhaust fan. If the chip is getting above 50C, it means the PSU is effectively running a hot box test 24/7. Anything I can do short of buying a closed loop?

Go ahead and use the PSU as an exhaust, that's what I always do in my SUGO builds. an alternative option would be to mod some vents above the IO ports and possibly add a small fan there. The ST45SF should be able to handle the workload, though smile.gif

Running PSU as exhaust drops temps by about 2 degrees for me.

The largest impact should be with regard to motherboard temperatures smile.gif
