Hardware / Re: Best 775 socket motherboard for a Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 Yorkfield QuadCore
« on: May 20, 2021, 03:34:00 pm »Hi Greggory,
Other than wanting to use your old Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 Yorkfield CPU is there any compelling reason for using an Intel CPU for your new unit?
I gave up on Intel years ago in the days of the 486 processor and now use AMD units exclusively in any computer I build. My latest unit is based on the MSI B550-A PRO board with an AMD Ryzen third gen processor with built in graphics which works very well with the latest ArcaOS. Unless you insist on Intel processors I would recommend that you give AMD a try.
Hi Ivan,
Thanks for posting I was looking at - ASUS ROG Strix B450-F Gaming II AMD AM4 (Ryzen 5000, 3rd Gen Ryzen ATX Gaming Motherboard
It's just that I never tried AMD before and always bought Intel. And I'm looking a the model one below ASUS PRIME Z590-P and about the same price as the AMD board.
So, I'll have to take another look now I was going to buy the latest of everything, but why I'm not a gamer ! So, settled on a Core i7 10700K then now coming to my senses I only really need an i5 processor.
One plus for the Intel board is that it supports 11th Generation Core family and I don't buy new computers very often, so I can upgrade for years.
This helped - User Benchmark: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X vs Intel Core i7-10700K

So, after all the typing mainly I just wanted it now, Lol
Thx,
