What other H55 mATX boards did you see E-J@1?

Did you check out the Asus boards by the way? The P7H55-M Pro looks nice too.

the asus H55 mATX design nice...
but 1 thing it missing is the solid caps. it use electrolic caps...
not that it will effect the performance... it just dosent look so nice compare to gigabyte

the msi one has less power phase compare to other...

ya... especially the gigabyte p55m~s ones

Yeah I noticed that too, there is the P7H55D-M version which has full solid caps, but it's quite abit more expensive. Don't think it's worth the added cost just for the cooler solid caps haha.

I think Asus has 6 phases compared to GB's 7 as well, but somehow, I still like the Asus one. I'll see, planning to build a SFF this weekend in a SG03.

ASUS P7H55-M PRO
MSI H55M-E33

mine v351

miss the SG03

@E-J@1: haha previous page the post where i say ppl love to spam..is cause theres sum1 spamming a site here n i reported him..seems like admin has deleted / ban him

anyway..if im not wrong..the oni P55 board out there right now wid crossfire wud be the asus maximus(or was it formula nt sure ) 3 gene rite? bt then if running at crossfire..it will be @ dual 8x isntead of dual 16x

lol

i thought i was the spammer

anway, maximus 3 gene is the only matx xfire board rite now

where's dfi?

The H55M-USB3 you just bought, that supports xfire as well, albeit in x16 and x4 mode, doesn't it?

dif matx p55 not developed yet. their research slow down... but they got a p55 itx board on hand... so they are winning still.

ur p55m usb3 will support crossfire but not sli (at x16 and x4)... gene will support sli and xfire (x8 and x8)
another matx board that support sli and xfire is the gigabyte p55m ud4p but i think not avail here...

i7 gene support cf n sli for 16x 16x

well... not everyone will have budget to own those beast...
p55 is the mainstream for common...

talking about the gene x58... the DFI LP JR X58-T3H6 is also a nice board.

yeah i know

but the 2nd vga slotted right at the bottom

cant xfire unless in atx casing

but then, its against my nature

yeah, damn i wish the distro gonna bring that matx p55 mobo

straight away i sell off mine

i7 is just tooo......

em seriously we need more sff cases in m'sia

eeps! i heard of the gigabyte p55m ud4p oso..bt its still dual 8x? O_O

im juz wondering..does 16x n 8x reli affect ur gaming need?

hmm..im still tinkin..issit wise to go for dual 5850 for a SFF..scared it will be an oven inside there..

yup will still be x8 and x8...
p55 will be this way unless u go to x58
than will u oni get x16 and x16

ALL p55 is x8 x8? gahh..sadness lol..

btw..any big diff for dual x8 vs dual x16?

wat bout maximus gene? P55... support SLI n Xfire dual 8x or dual 16x?

the p55 maximus gene is dual 8x..tatz why kinda let down ..guess i will jz get a single card for my matx..unless i can korek up some money n go for i7 or until they release a board wid dual 16x XD

the maximum III gene support sli at dual x8 oni... all the p55 board are the same
unless added nividia nf200 chip which provide extra lane for dual x16

icic... so only X58 mobo support dual x16....

which SFF casing can fit in 2xGTX260??? XQBOX? or Aopen?

i going to change my desktop to SFF... here got alot poison...

@tjay_tj: the site u post jz nw does provide some good info on single n sli/crosfire on both p55 n x58..seen the benchmark..some games the sli/cf @ x58 killed p55 a lot bt some games they are omoz the same O_O

Added on January 23, 2010, 11:20 am@subrok: i tink the lianli v351 n some of the Silverstone SuGo series can handle sli wid no problem as well..maybe will haf a lil heat issue though
