Hi guys, I've read about 30 pages of this thread as I'm trying to learn everything about building rig. Just for learning sake, I have a few questions.
1. is the brand of motherboard make any difference or just features and fanboy preference? I didn't see any other brand suggestion besides Asrock. 2. What are the criterias in choosing a good mobo? Besides compatibility. 3. Is cooling system necessary for non-OC and slight OC? 4. Optimisation between GPU and CPU? For gaming. Please don't flame me if my questions sound stupid or naive. I'm here to learn and all ears  Thanks in advance, sir! |

QUOTE(Zgames @ Jul 26 2014, 03:00 PM) 1. abidgreen has answered one of the factor of ASrock motherboard there. 2. Price/Performance ratio = Cheaper + Good Chipset = Buy it. 3. Depends, is your non-OC build a rendering workstation Xeon that opens 24/7? Then a normal air cooler would be great. Brands like Noctua, CM, Scythe and many more delivers good cooling. Slight OC just go with cheap CM that has a good price/performance ratio. 4. Hmmmm well for gaming mindset for me is More power on GPU and 30-40% on processor. If it's a 3D rendering rig 50-50. Pair the best with the best. That's why you've might seen an i5 paired with a 780 Ti/R9 290X or so. When it comes to rendering rig it's Xeon paired with 770 or higher. QUOTE(abidgreen93 @ Jul 26 2014, 04:30 PM) But personally, I like Asus and gigabyte better. Thanks so much for the explanation! Anyway, are there any reasons to choose well-known brands over the smaller one? Say Gigabyte and ASUS over Asrock. MSI over Gainward, Leadtek. Please correct me if I'm wrong. |
