All great CPUs need a home. Sometimes that home is a hand-me-down motherboard from computers past (assuming the sockets are the same), but sometimes it's a brand-spanking-new board to house your brand-spanking-new CPU. In my case, I'm tossing my recently...
  • Good pricing, Excellent software and BIOS, Good feature set (extra USB and SATA ports), Simple overclocking, Five PWM fan headers!...
