Posted April 18, 2016 I thought the god like was like $600? I guess it depends on what kind of features you need. Lots of bling and high quality audio, it depends on what you need/want from a board.

Posted April 18, 2016 You should get a good board like the RVE The only decent one from MSI is the Godlike which is a bit expensive and doesn't make sense when the RVE exists.

Rampage V Extreme. One of the Xpower doesn't have a OC socket and it has the same VRM build as the lower end one. The other one does and still has the other problem. Not worth for the price unless you must have yellow. The other board that's decent is the SOC Champion but they tend to die, a lot. I hear the new Rev 1.1 hopes to fix this.

If it's like that elsewhere get the RVE all day The Xpower is an ok board (as long as it's the oc socket one imo) but doesn't justify the price tag. The X99 OC Formula isn't bad either LGA775 Overclocking Guide - LGA771 to LGA 775 mod - Rigs in spoiler - Subzero Overclocker - HWBOT - Sandybridge-E Frequency WR Holder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your best bet is to wait for the release of broadwell-E processors at the very beginning of June @Computex. The next Broadwell-E processor in line is supposedly the Core i7-6900K, with eight cores, 16 threads, a base clock of 3.2GHz, and a boost clock of 3.7GHz. This chip will only have 20MB of L3 cache, a TDP of 140-watts, and sport a cheaper estimated price of $999. Intel’s six-core i7-6850K CPU isn’t quite as expensive, offering an estimated pricetag of around $550. That buys a chip with a base clock speed of 3.6GHz, a boost clock speed of 3.8GHz, and 15MB of L3 cache. Most affordable of the line is the i7-6800K processor, priced at around $390. It will also have six cores, but a base clock speed of 3.4GHz, and a boost clock speed of 3.6GHz, with 15MB of L3 Cache. I would go for the 6850K .

The RVE warranty is basically non existent same with the SOC (to a lesser degree) OP if you like how it looks and it has the original receipt and works fine otherwise go for it. Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
