Which Mobo to get with i3 2120

[Ahsun Qureshi]

Will be getting i3 processor but don't really know which mobo to go for. Has anyone known any complaints against asus or intel boards. My budget is 5-7k

With the huge list galaxy has provided with mobo all i think is get the cheapest one. How are the prices categorized. All support I3, all have board speed enough needed for i3. Ddr rams 2 slots are more then enough. Usb ports 4/6 nearly all have.

Sound card i think is the main factor for standing out and priced high. Plus more pci slots for cross fire. Is that it?

So the higher price i look at for a board i should be comparing only the crossfire and the built in sound card?

Anyone? Intel or Asus boards? Heard intel h5 chipset socket prone to fail later on. Does anyone have a say on this

i suggest u to go for intel dh61ww

i support my comment
1. 3years warranty unlike asrck or gigabyte h61 mobo having 1year warranty
2, Have pci slot so later on u can add a decent sound card or wireless lan card if incase u need it.

well a lot of factors for high prices of mobo
just cant explain it all here, every chipset has its own qualities like h67 have usb 3.0 and sata 6gb/sec etc etc

and no sound cards of mobo.s r just crappp price dont vary on this base

Yea go for h61 chipset and better is Intel board not only 3 year warranty but also very good in claiming it too

brother it is better for you to purchase asrock mobo over intel mobo and don't look at 3 year warranty.the asrock board will offer you every thing you need

now look at the specs and finish of both mobos.regarding pci-ex card these days most of the cards are pci-x1 slot so don't worry about it

increase your budget a little bit and try and get this then...

Motherboards - Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H Motherboard in Pakistan for Rs.8100.00 | Computer Zone

you will pay a little more but you will also add in
usb 3.0,
a second pci exp slot for a extra graphic card,
2 extra pci slots

 

[Ahsun Qureshi]

You guys were a big help. Got intel Dh61 board. Would have tried that new humidity protection board that Asus has but read it late. Surely this should help others seeking a similar puzzle.

sadly it's a business level board, not recommended for overclocking.

You need a Z77 or Z75 board if you want to go for ocing.

"With no voltage options other than vDIMM, and no ability to adjust Turbo multipliers, overclocking is just simply impossible"
