Thread: Reliable motherboard

Requires a reliable motherboard, which of those two (namely, of the two) to choose and why? Focusing on the actual quality, rather than the well-known brand. Acceleration is not planned

Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3

ASRock P45XE

CPU Core 2 Duo E8600

DDR-I I Kingston <KVR800D2N6K2/4G> DDR-II DIMM 4Gb KIT 2 * 2Gb <PC2-6400> CL6

If you plan to put a second video card then you need to buy 48 chipset, the 45 does not make sense to put two 4870....

Than justified your choice of these boards? If the acceleration plan?

I would like a motherboard which would have no problems conflict of equipment, problems with drivers, etc.

Delivered and RADUESHSYA rather than sit and think that for the well-known brand, but they have consistently come new versions of BIOS, firmware because crude, for example, or motherboard does not see hard at 1T, for example with the problems facing users of mat board Gigabyte, if you read that write on their official forum, or simply in search engines.

Many of the budget bill, (the budget does not mean bad) for years and all were normal.

A graphics card is on my list is 4870 and I am not going to put a second or make dispersal.

This is it bad? I agree that in the race for leadership is a lot of goods from the raw firmware. And it's a manufacturer that does not support the buyer's current firmware and software. Do not be scared too frequent access software updates and firmware. This is only a plus. You just do not overpay for the beautiful packaging, but also for the service, but it's worth it (spent on nerves SC, money, etc.)

I agree with you, but it is not the lack of updated software or firmware, but the quality and completeness.

You should know that all the manufacturers, in support of writing that you need to update BIOS only in extreme cases and with instability.

Mean that some motherboard manufacturers make high-quality firmware on the BIOS and then minor updates and other raw produce original firmware which system works not stable and then a lot of critical updates.

On the tautology appears. That's my understanding, for example, a good cooling - it is passive. It is not noise, and it has no bearings, which can lead to failure. But the map-class higher than the HD4850 or GeForce 9600GT with passive cooling to make a reasonable price and size is not realistic. And what do you want?
