The Best Motherboard CPU Combo For Intel Sandy Bridge Processors


Intel released their latest Sandy Bridge processors earlier this year in a new socket 1155 platform. Computer enthusiasts and gamers are started to find the best motherboard CPU combo for their new computer project. Let me help you to give some ideas to be smart in choosing which one is the best for you.

There are two chipset currently available out there to support these new processors the P67 and the H67. The H67 doesn't have the capability to overclock the new i5 and i7 processor. Also it does not support the multi GPU graphics, not a gamer stuff. It would be wiser if you choose a motherboard that has the P67 chipset.

ASUS offers different types of P67 board, the P8P67 Deluxe, P8P67 Pro and the P8P67. The Deluxe version is the ASUS high-end follow with the Pro and lastly the P8P67. All of these boards have the same state of the art technology features from ASUS and it differs only in some points. The Deluxe version has 2 Gbit LAN and the Pro has only 1. Both of them are great performer and easy to overclock but has an $80 price difference. If you don't need the extra Gbit LAN the Pro would be a better choice.

The P8P67 is the lowest price. For another $40 cheaper than the Pro version but lacks of eSATA and SLI support. It shows a bit slower in a CrossfireX configuration but very good in a single GPU card. If you don't have any applications for the Multi-GPU and eSATA port this board is perfect for you.

The best choice for the processor would be an i5 or i7. There's only $15 difference between the i5 2500 and the 2500K. If you want to do more overclocking to push you further go with the K version to unlock more potential speed. If you're happy to throw in another $90 for the hyper threaded i7 2600K nothing can stop you. Set your own records!

Soon to Come Core I7 Processors and the X58 Platform-Motherboards


The buzz is contagious. Everyone who is interested in technology is talking about the release of the Intel Core i7 (Nehalem) processors, which is due to be launched in November 2008. One of the main reasons why everyone is excited about this launch is because the Intel Core i7 is drastically different from previous CPU generations.

The first notable difference is that the Intel Core i7 requires a motherboard that supports QuickPath. QuickPath is a technology that provides point to point high speed links to shared memory. This means you can expect outstanding memory performance. The Intel X58 and the MSI X58 motherboards both support QuickPath.

The second notable difference is that the memory controller is on the processor, and not on a separate chip. This means that the memory is directly connected to the CPU for better performance.

Many technology fans are looking forward to experiencing the performance that the 4 cores promise. Each of the 4 cores can process 2 threads simultaneously. To the operating system, the CPU thus appears as 8 processors.

The Core i7 only supports DDR3 RAM. Looking to synchronized with the launch date of Intel Core i7 processors, memory manufacturers like G.Skill Taiwan have released compatible 3GB and 6GB triple channel DDR3 memory kits. These memory kits have been timed perfectly to match the Intel Core i7 processor and the X58 motherboard chipset. As of writing, pricing and availability details have yet to be announced.

However, enthusiasts shouldn't have to wait too long as the Intel Core i7 is already scheduled to be launched in November. X58 motherboards are already available, and everyone is just waiting in anticipation for the launch of the next generation processor.

When you put the three components together, the X58 motherboard chipset, the Intel Core i7 processor and triple channel DDR3 memory, you get an immensely powerful machine with awesome computing power.

Each component offers a range of performance capabilities that can be tweaked and optimized. For this reason, overclockers, gamers, and enthusiasts will find it hard to resist owning these cutting edge hardware components. Machines equipped with these components can be tweaked for the optimal performance and run performance tests on the machines. This is a very fun, exciting and enjoyable experience.

Overclocking a computer can be risky business, as the wrong settings can potentially damage the hardware. This is largely because default cooling solutions are not yet fully developed to handle the extra heat produced from overclocking. Often, overclockers find themselves having to add additional cooling to the system to cope with the additional heat generated.

However, for the high-end hardware that we have just discussed, better cooling technology has been improved so that lesser cooling is required.

All in all, the Core i7 processor, the X58 motherboard and the DD3 memory kits look set to provide one of the most potent combinations in the exciting world of computers.

Motherboards For AMD Processors


AMD are a global leader when it comes to providing cost effective and innovative solutions in the fields of microprocessors and graphics, and when it comes to microprocessors they quite often outsmart their biggest rivals Intel. Unlike Intel however; they do not manufacture their own motherboards preferring to use the skills of several high quality manufactures with well-established names and brands who have long been staunch supporters of their processors and chipsets.

One of AMD's more recent forays into the market is with their AM3 Phenom II processors utilising their 45nm manufacturing process containing a new hybrid memory controller enabling them to use both DDR2 and the newer faster DDR3. As would be expected the AMD motherboard manufacturers were quick to be releasing motherboards that where compatible with this newest CPU with the likes of MSI and Asus being among the first to release specifications of their new products.

Asus are a technology oriented company blessed with one of the best R & D teams in the world, they are well renowned for being on the superhighway when it comes to delivering cost effective and affordable new technologies, and where among the first to bring the consumer an AMD AM3 motherboard that was priced according to most peoples budget. And as usual from this leading manufacturer they have delivered this without compromising on specification or quality.

The Asus M4A78T-E AMD motherboard is one of their AM3 Phenom II offerings which also utilises the faster DDR3 memory which admirably meets the higher bandwidth requirements of the latest 3D Graphics, multimedia, and internet applications. To be more specific this AMD motherboard has four slots providing a maximum of 16GB of superfast memory.

If you are upgrading and don't want all the expense in one go, then the M4A78T-E is a great opportunity for doing it in byte size chunks. It comes equipped with a Radeon HC 3300 on-board graphics solution with one of the fastest integrated chipsets around and an extra 128MB of DDR3 makes this board well equipped, capable of outputting video with a resolution at 1080p. If this isn't enough for you then don't be getting dismayed as this AMD motherboard also comes equipped with two PCI Express 2.0 enabling two cards to be run in CrossFireX? satisfying even hard core gamers.

Once again Asus have given us a motherboard that is well equipped in terms of connectivity being well supported by five SATA II ports including one eSATA, two Firewire ports, six USB 2.0 ports, Gigabit Lan and 8 Channel HD Audio, with a pretty affordable price tag. Representing the move from your current system to AM3 in a cost effective manner whilst still providing all the bells and whistles needed to keep the majority of consumers happy isn't always an easy thing to do, but this AMD motherboard from Asus delivers just that. Compliment this with enough overclocking to push the Phenom II as hard as is possible and Asus could be on to a winner with their M4A78T-E.

How to Choose the Best CPU Motherboard Combo For AMD Processors


Are you struggling in finding the best CPU motherboard combo for you to build own computer? Let me help you to find the perfect CPU motherboard combination for you to build your computer for AMD processors.

Let us find first the perfect CPU. The reason we choose the AMD processor because it is much cheaper than Intel's equivalent processors and for some gamers they find it faster. The Athlon II X3 435 triple core AM3 priced at $85 and the Athlon II X4 630 AM3 quad core priced at $96. If you need more core for fast performance in multi tasking applications like video editing and for heavy programming you better get the Athlon II X4 630 for only $11 price difference. If you plan to use it for a game choose the Phenom II processors.

Now let's find the perfect motherboard that supports your chosen processor. AMD processors uses socket AM2, AM2+ and AM3. AM3 is the latest therefore we go for it because it supports all of them. Although AM2, AM2+ and AM3 are all the same socket it differs in a way that socket AM2 doesn't supports the AM3 processors.

Choose a motherboard that can handle the maximum speed of processor for your future upgrade. The type of memory it can handle usually DD3 for newer motherboard but choose the higher speed available like 1600MHz. Most motherboard nowadays supports dual channel memory having two identical memory sticks. If you plan to use it for games choose a motherboard that supports multi GPU. Some motherboard supports SLI for NVidia video cards and some of them are CrossfireX for ATI Radeon cards. You may also consider other expansion slots and ports that you may need to connect other peripherals like the PCI and PCI-E slots, SATA, USB, firewire and other ports. And don't forget the speed of these ports because it affects how fast your data can transfer.

You may also consider the chipset that are being used because it greatly affects your system performance. It also indicates the type of processor and video cards it can support. The last thing you may consider here is the price. You don't need a high priced motherboard as long as it meets all your needs.




I have listed 2 of the best CPU Motherboard Combo for you to build your own computer. Pick your best choice.

Comparing Motherboards For the Upcoming Core I7 Processors


In the next few months, more and more buzz will be generated for new motherboards. That's because with the launch of Intel Core i7 processors, only new motherboards with the X58 chipset can be used. In other words, if an enthusiast wants to upgrade a CPU, the motherboard has to be upgraded as well.

A lot of information has been released by technology news websites on various motherboards such as the ASUS P6T Deluxe OC Palm, Intel DX58SO, MSI Eclipse and EVGA's X58 SLI motherboard. In order not to be overwhelmed by the plethora of articles on these motherboards, it may be a good idea to be clear headed and focus our attention on the crucial elements.

Crucial element 1: Speed

The overall speed of the computer system depends on the multiplier values of the system. For example, you can achieve higher performance if you tweak the multiplier values of the CPU or the memory. Overclocking enthusiasts will be most interested to know if the system can run reliability at the overclocked values.

In this area, the ASUS P6T motherboard offers an extra in the 2.5" LCD displays that presents system configuration information, overclocking data, etc. This is useful for overclockers who want to tweak and monitor the system while it runs.

Crucial element 2: Graphics

The graphics of a computer system is another major component to take into consideration. Many software applications require a lot of graphics processing power to run smoothly. This includes professional software, such as video and audio editing software that performs a lot of zooming, panning, modeling of 3D objects, etc. Many 3D games also require powerful graphic processing for best effects.

Enthusiasts should check whether the motherboard has SLI (Scalable Link Interface) support. SLI is a technology developed by nVidia, and it's used for multi-GPU processing. Not all motherboards support this feature because manufacturers are required to pay a royalty to nVidia if they want to offer support for SLI.

Since SLI is meant for intensive graphics processing, only those who need it for business applications or gaming need to consider having this feature.

Crucial element 3: Memory.

The memory on a system affects the overall speed of the computer. With powerful processors, enthusiasts have to make sure that there won't be a bottleneck when it comes to memory. Having insufficient memory could mean that the system will run at substandard performance.

Motherboards with the X58 chipset offer support for triple channel DDR3 memory kits. Various memory manufacturers from Taiwan and China have already released memory kits that are timed perfectly for the Core i7 processors.

Enthusiasts should pay attention to the number of slots available. For instance, the ASUS P6T motherboard has 6 memory slots, allowing a max memory of 12 GB. Other motherboard options may have only 3.

As far as the motherboard is concerned, there are various editions available. Of course, one can expect the high-end editions to be much more costly. However, enthusiasts can still enjoy the increased performance at an affordable price if options are selected wisely.
