Two Pulsar IIs in Gigabyte GA-Z87-HD3 Intel Z87 Socket 1150?

Post by asktoby »

Time for a new motherboard for me.

I'm looking at the Gigabyte GA-Z87-HD3.
It has 2 x PCI (32 bit) slots.

Should I expect any issue putting my two Pulsar II cards in those bottom two PCI slots? I see forum rumblings about IRQs and so forth...

Thanks!

Seems much of the issue is avoiding socket 1155 in favour of the the older 1156... This board is 1150, I.e. newer than both of those. I'm still reading the threads here to see what opinions are on socket 1150...

OK Team, news to report. :)

Bought the GIGABYTE Z87-HD3 LGA 1150 motherboard, with an Intel Core i5-4670K @ 3.4GHz, 8GB RAM

Just installed it last night, tried the Masterverb test this morning, got 9 Masterverbs.
On my old Mobo I used to get 11 Masterverbs.
So that's a little worse but certainly not catastrophic!

The machine is running very smooth with insane fast boot times so far. I'll report back if I run into stability issues...

Just to follow up - I found that with the stock overclock applied by scan.co.uk I was getting BSODs during video games.
I've rolled back the CPU clock speed to stock and am now running stable.

i had some overclocking issues with my GIGABYTE board as well. it's got plenty of juice stock, so i also rolled mine back.

i don't know this motherboard.
but asus P8Z68-V LX don't work :"pci overflow"
when i test the B75 chipset it work because b75 chipset have native pci support.
so take attention if this motherboard have pci legacy native support.
because some motherboard bridge the pci bus with a chips and it really don't work with creamware pci card."pci overflow error"

I have a motherboard with native PCI support, which works extremely bad. Native PCI support does not guarantee good real time PCI performance. This was how it was before 1155, and this is how it still is.

Yes, and that is super. It is, however, important to note that you do not use reverbs in your Scope projects.
