Mobo Of Death
Posted: Fri Mar 31, 2017 7:04 am
Evenin' all.
I've just ordered a Gigabyte Z97P-D3 mobo from the rainforest. 60 quidz. I'm waiting to get it before ordering a CPU. I'm not sure how my 2 x Scope 15 DSP's will fit with the SATA connectors on the mobo. If they don't, I'll send it back and the hunt continues.
Assuming the cards will not conflict with the SATA connectors, I will get a CPU. The one I'm looking at is the Intel Core i7 4790K S 1150 Haswell Refresh Quad Core Processor. So, simple question. Will it work OK with the Gigabyte mobo? I'm pretty sure it will, but looking for confirmation from those that know for sure.
I don't really need a new box, the old DG965RY + 775 one is battling on with endless vigour. But these PCI slot mobo's are becoming tricky to get hold of, so a backup is in order. The Asus Z87 and Z97's are rare as hen's teeth. ASRock the same.
Good news is there's plenty of new open plan type cases that'll fit the long cards.
Cheers,
