Msi Gd 65

[TTesla]

Is this a good motherboard? And how does it compare to the ud3h?

I WAS going to get a ud3h as @Glenwing said, but amazon is being STUPID and I have prime!

Edit: yay this is my 300th post!

Which version like Z87 990Fx? Any of them are good to tell you the truth, just might be a better one

I have the Z77A-GD55 and I love the board. The GD65 is worth the little more since you get a Post-LED readout, More Sata 3, Super Charge USB 2.0 header, V-check points, and I think dual Bios.

Remember that there is GD series on Both AMD and Intel boards and multiple chipsets.

12 phases vs 8 phases, and 2 more SATA ports compared to Z87-G45. Get G45, son, and save your money. Intel CPUs really aren't taking THAAAAAAAAT much power to get them running, 8 phases for good bunch of OCing is enough i would say.

 

Unless you're doing extreme OC-ing or just want your mobo to be a LITTLE BIT cooler (more phases = better heat dissipation on the power section as well), just get Z87-G45 they look the same and pretty much work the same.

 

PS GD65 has physical OC Genie button but who the hell cares about this crap, no?

use different store? it's not like amazon is alpha and omega. also it's not cheapest store i know.

 

But GD65 is overally great, it's a bit better than Z87-G45 and will serve you well.

Prime!

Prime!

 

Newegg has free shipping on the UD3H, and offers it at a cheaper price than Amazon to begin with.

Not 2 day shipping, and I can't wait anymore not with the rest of my components just sitting there MOCKING ME

I have a feeling you will end up spending more time choosing your motherboard that it would arrive at the same time anyway

I have a z87 gd65 and i love it so far. Bios flashes are easy, the audio is pretty good, the uefi is clear and easy to configure and of course the board itself looks great!

The only problem with this mobo is that integrated LAN card isn't supported in Linux

Ohh, well sorry for that, because I have a feeling you found that out the hard way
