Best motherboard on the market??
that fucking dragon ruins it
>>51257863
chill
>MSI
kek
>>51257863
lel
>>51257863
just paint over it bae
I have this mobo, it's literally just a gaming M7 with loads of over the top excessive overclocking shit that only ln2 overclockers can even take advantage of
Who the fuck uses a voltemeter with this thing when they overclock? Ln2 overclockers
Also what fucking psu has 6+4pin cpu power and how the fuck does your cpu ever need that much power? When you overclock on ln2
And why the fuck does anybody need 16 phase power delivery with fucking titanium chokes?
And finally who manually overclocks with that oc dashboard? Nobody but ln2 keks
So this board is so fucking excessively over the top for a gaming build it's insane, I bought it because it was silver and not because I want to reach 8ghz on liquid helium
TL;DR you literally do not need this motherboard my friend
>>51258273
It's actually 8+4pin, theres a 6pin on the mobo for extra pcie power tho I got mixed up
>>51257795
>no built in copper tubing on the VRMs
ITS FUCKING TRASH
>>51257795
>>51257795
>the lightning bolt
>the dragon
were it not for those two glaring tumors, it'd be a really good-looking white board
>>51258306
Who the fuck would not use a monoblock on this board? Are you poor?
>>51257795
Why the fuck would you spend this much on a motherboard if you're not going 2011-3? It's like getting a pimped out Toyota when you can just get a decent Mercedes-Benz.
Decent motherboard, I'm sure. Worth the money? No. Get a 5820K and a Gigabyte X99 board or something. You'll end up paying less anyway.
>>51260002
>X99
Yes give me more less powerful cores my man thankyou mmmm also thankyou for the ungodly expensive quad channel memory yes my friends yes and finally give me the overclocking abilities of a tumour andwait I forgot every mobo costs the same as the xpower yet isn't even comparable wow please destroy me desu senpai and btw do you want 40 lanes to actually not be a kek? Lol nice meme my friend go and eat shit out of your own hands and buy mac as you would have to spend £419 just for 12 pcie lanes kill me friendo kill me to death :^]]]]]
>>51260165
1. 5820K performs better in 90% of games and in 100% of multithreaded tasks.
2. If you knew shit you'd know you don't need to run quad channel
3. Since when has a 5820K been a poor overclocker?
Enjoy your $500 silver toy.
>>51260327
I am enjoying it my friend :^] enjoy your two useless cores and worse single threaded performance
>>51260384

I am. I have 4 extra "useless" cores though since I'm not a poorfag.
>>51260424
But you complain about $500 motherboards? $500 is fucking nothing what can you even spend $500 on apart from a motherboard
>>51258273
>I bought it because it was silver
heh
>Best motherboard on the market??
No. The best motherboard doesn't exist and never will. Different applications motherfucker.
>>51260445
Again, it's $500 poorly spent.
>>51257795
best for what?
small form factor?
server board?
lot of i/o?
>>51260327
ipc difference is like 4%
The average of 4.5ghz 5930k will rape the average oc 4.7ghz of a 6700k.
>>51260774
>buying the poor mans core
>>51260774
Literally the 'I cannot afford the 5960x and I am a kek so I shall take it out on the quadcore users with currynigger benchmarks' cpu
>>51261170
z170 is a poormans x99
>>51261197
>implying i'm not waiting for a 10 core unlocked xeon
that's like making fun of a 980 ti owner for not picking a titan x, pure poorfag jealously
>>51261345
I can buy a 980ti whenever I like senpai
>>51261543
what you tryung to say famu
>>51261345
buying a 5930K is more like buying a 4GB GTX 960
>>51261604
More like a 980, the 5820k is crippled trash like 3.5
But 3.5 is still better cheaper, and more efficient than 3 year old rebands.
>>51261653
No there are times it's a good idea to buy a GTX 980, it's never a good idea to buy a 5930K
In all seriousness I wish I got a 4820k and X79 Deluxe + 32gb DDR3 over my 6700k and Z170 Xpower and 8gb DDR4
Should I sell my 6700K and mobo + DDR4? I have the original boxes for everything but the Ram since it doesn't come in a box
>>51261674
>it's never a good idea to buy a 5930K
Why?
>>51261736
because it's literally the worst CPU on that platform
>>51261704
This holds true. 4970k + HyperX Savage DDR3 2400MHz
Optimized
>>51261736
>5930K
I dont know why dont you just settle for 4790K and wait for whatever VR tech requirements are
>>51261704
don't bother, hex cores will be obsolete in a couple generations anyway
>>51261753
Now you aren't even trying anymore. Sounds like you're a lil bit jelly
>>51261763
I haven't really made a ~bad~ choice, but I've overspent by far for what I've actually got
>>51261774
4820k is quad core btw man, it just has 40 cpu lanes and supports up to like 128gb quad channel ram and has 10mb cache
I can get one for less than a 6600k so I'm not sure what to do
>>51261785
Keep moving forward.
Upgrade your DDR4 and combine with killer SSD - Intel 750 or Samsung SM951 / 950 Pro
>>51261792
get a Z170 board with intel USB3.1 controller
>>51261832
I could get two 950 pro's and raid 0 them, I'm not sure about this at all though
>>51261860
The pcie speed usb 3.1 thing? Doesn't seem like enough to give up my over the top overclocking hardware on this board
>>51261890
full speed external SSDs are worth
>>51261872
>using softraid
>>51261902
I'd probably just wait until the z180 boards when Kaby Lake releases and just put my 6700k in one of those instead of buying a new z170
>>51261927
How the fuck else can I raid m.2 ssd's with their own pcie x4 m.2 slots
>>51261950
Doesn't z170 only have 20 lanes
20
-16 gpu
4 remaining
4 is only enough for 1 m2 drive.
you can reduce the gpu to 8x but that's retarded
RST doesn't support opposing NVMe drivers.
850 Pro launched with a 5 year warranty, extended to 10.
No NVMe products currently carry a 10 year warranty.
Until Samsung adjusts its software to support RAID arrays, you'll have to use Microsoft's NVMe driver. Pull the trigger on 1x 950 pro, it's all good.
>>51261950
Find something that uses
http://pmcs.com/products/storage/flashtec_nvme_controllers/
Seriously, what motherboard make does /gee/ recommend? I've had bad experiences with a couple Gigabytes myself, and some excessive memory pickiness from Asus.
>>51261991
I can make each m.2 drive only use 2 lanes
I have the red version
>>51262388
You don't have 16 phase power delivery, titanium chokes, all digital pwm or a voltemeter thing and an oc dashboard my friend
>>51262599
I got it cause its red
>>51262599
Did you get enough money to sell your ugly ass crucials?
Msi z97 gaming 3/5/7 master race
>>51262656
Crucials are BASED what the FUCK is wrong with you do you fucking FUCK have you even heard of the MX200? Do you know who Micron are? They literally help make 3dxpoint and you are buying ugly as fuck corsair platinums which looks like roofs on a bungalow my friend
>>51262656
Btw senpai are you a KEK senpai
>>51262933
theyre ugly
>>51262933
>>51262988
why the fuck do either of you care about how your RAM looks
>>51262988
I'm selling the entire mobo and cpu + ram anyway senpai and moving to X79
>>51257795
certainly not that one, probably some 4-cpu board
>>51261991
Skylake CPUs can have 16 lanes
