which 2011-v3 is better

[alarmingtugboat]

I don't know which one I should get and what's the best cpu for these 2 boards, (preferd a cheaper cpu)

[joshuawi99]

Go for Asus in my opinion but why x99??

[Jurrunio]

cheap and X99 dont mix. For budget workstations, better look for Ryzen or X79

[NelizMastr]

What do you want to do with this? If the answer is gaming and some content creation, go Ryzen instead. Cheaper boards, better CPUs for the money.

That doesn't mean you should spend $200 on a board for a dead platform. Even the Xeon E5 v3 and v4 chips that these boards can work with don't come cheap yet.

agreed

 

definitely go for ryzen in this instance, eventough X79 is capable as-is, right now it is really lacking behind in newer feautures like NVMe M.2 and all that jazz. 

i know because i have X79 right now

Id rather stay with older platforms as parts are cheap and easy repair.

Except the X platforms aren't cheap yet. The boards are expensive and for X99 CPUs and RAM are too.

yeah but 150 for a mobo plus at least 300 for cpu wtf. Ryten 1800x plus mobo is the same atm. And if ur cpu gets old just wait for ryzen 3 in 2019 and switch the 1800x

One thing a x5650 is as good as a ryzen 5 in games and only 50$ (can) but I don't know if I want 1366.

go wtih the asus x99
great bios and great rma support
sent my dead x99 board and im supposed to get it by the end of the month
just keep in mind that you wont be able to use xeon processors on these low end motherboards,

I live in Canada and I don't really like amd risk of bending pins on cpu pga is not worth it you break a pin gone out the door like someone scared of a spider, lga can be fixed and also modded remember 771 to 775?

Good luck modding an X299 CPU into a LGA1151 then

Those are so old, motherboards are hard to come by. Not something I'd recommend going for.

If you want more cores, clock speed will drop. If you want clock speed, use i7s instead.

[deXxterlab97]

Sorry late to the party but AsRock cause it is blue, and I believe @PCGuy_5960 has that board so he can tell more

[PCGuy_5960]

Let's keep this discussion on topic.

@alarmingtugboat I'd get the ASUS board, simply because it's cheaper
