New build

Oh, and say for example I get a 470 SOC
Will it be as good as the stock 480? Will it run cooler?

i agree the sabertooth looks like an mint but pick the best board for gaming... you dont want a mobo only lasting 5 mins do you?

You mean the tooth is better for gaming? I like the looks, but I'd rather the extreme6 since they say the Tooth's thermal armor only has negative effects

sorry i meant to put the sabertooth looks mint.. must of put a few words in i shudnt of then..but im sure it would run better with a big silent fan in the case..then youve got a good looking board...good gaming board too

Mmm.I have seen videos, though, about the tooth's vcore and dram running at around 100ºc... I think the asrock is more stable and gives me more bang for the buck. (feel free to prove me wrong :) ) I don't think that 100c is good.
I'm more worried now about the GFX card. I don't want an overheating card :S

your decision but i wouldnt be too worried about what i pick as long as there good quality.. heating issues can be sorted with a good fan or two

I don't know... I just cant get my head around anything....
Then I read that the Sabertooth has cooler temps with the 50mm fan in the sochet, and with the 25€ I save I can get a GTX 570.....
AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH
please help

seems to me the better option would be to get the sabertooth( a very good board too) and then buy the 570.. just buy a decent fan or fans so you wont have any heat issues. remeber every system is different so buying a fan or two would solve all the problems of heat if there positioned properly...

so what are you going to pick/buy?

I don't knowwwwwwwwwwwww
the Sabertooth gives me better control to my temperature OCD, but the ASrock has more features (16+2 power phases...damn....THX trustudio)
But then again if I cool the asrock properly....But the sabertooth will tell me if I am
I honestly don't know what board to choose.

personally i would say pick the sabertooth and get the 570...seems like a very good setup...apart from a few things here and there that are different on each board..the difference is tottally huge is it?
