Title: Haswell Build - Any motherboard recommendations?
Post by: swindle on June 05, 2013, 04:31:45 pm

Anyone got some good price vs performance 1150 socket boards they would recommend?

I assume no one here is running haswell yet, but if anyone has read any reviews that are worth noting?

From the brief reading I have done on haswell, it was/is more aimed at laptops and mobile devices, getting a performance increase while decreasing power use. So not that great for desktops.

Willamette -> Prescott -> Wolfdale -> Sandy Bridge

My CPU history seem to trend towards me missing a few generations before upgrading; better wait for the next gen.

Also: It seems I prefer Intel for my main rig

Overclocked that slut too. It deformed the shape of the motherboard because of the heat and the terrible CPU coolers.
