Does anyone have any motherboard/chipset recommendations?
I am pretty sure my motherboard is on the way out. I've had it for a little over 4 years, so I'm not too surprised.
I'm running an X58 currently with a i7 920 at 2.67 GHz. It has run OK performance wise (I had some heating issues early on) My main issue with the motherboard was the layout. There is barely room in the thing because of the size of video cards now adays. It also had some heat issues because of how things are layn out.
Anyhow, it's still working, so I thought I'd browse around and see if anyone has any recommendations.
I've been looking at the new 8 core AMD processors They seem fairly promising. I'm also pretty sure I want to avoid Sandy Bridge chipsets for the time being (considering recent events). Otherwise, I'm not sure.
