New Socket 1155 motherboard for Intel 2500K
Looking for a motherboard to use in my latest upgrade to a new CPU
2500K, 16GB DDR3 RAM, OCZ Agility 3 but keep my solid HD5870. Will be moving my 3 old SATA2 HDD's over and probably using the SSD as a cached drive with the new Intel feature. Looking for mid-range class with possible Crossfire support and overclocking capabilities. Preferably Asus or Gigabyte boards as per local shop stock. Anyone want to way in?

Thanks for the confidence as I ended up getting a GA-Z77-UD3H. Very similar board I would assume with just a newer chipset.

J That's an Ivy Bridge chipset. http://www.anandtech.com/show/5771/t...3770k-review/5 What you get from it, compared to Z68 (last generation chipset), is USB3 is included in the Southbridge. This is the launch of native USB3 by Intel, so you get to test a brand new feature :-) Previous motherboards, had to use a separate chip from NEC, Asmedia, or Etron, to have USB3 work on them. Finally, Intel put it on their chipset. With any motherboard, you go to the motherboard manufacturer web page, and get the "CPU Support" chart, and verify your processor is supported. I expect it is, but you should still do a double check. If so, I expect the very first BIOS release, would include support for 2500K, so that's not likely to be a problem. Paul |

I did check before hand to make sure it runs in it. Since I'm moving from a dual core I figured this jump until the can get a cheaper Ivy Bridge for the next leap.
