My last real mobo purchase was circa 2009ish so I'm a bit behind (yeah, I kinda quit the cutting edge thing and much prefer to do component-level mods on older stuff now) ... but I have obtained a beautiful never-used unlocked 6-core i7-990X/3.47GHz I wanna overclock and abuse ... so I think I need:
LGA1366
X58 + ICH10R (best i7 chipset?)
DDR3 (24GB+/1333+), PCIe 3 (x16/x16/x8?), SATA 3, USB 3, etc etc etc everything 3
don't care about mobo-integrated graphics, audio, LAN, etc, gonna plug in overclocked upgrades
full ATX preferred
Any advice, suggestions? I don't mind paying ~$500 or more if needed for a single mobo, and I expect top-tier models aren't being made anymore for this "old" processor. Yeah, it's a bit steep pricing for half-obsolete stuff (should never spend money upgrading old tech to old tech!) ... but we all need hobbies haha, I like modding the mobo schematics and capacities, firmware, hardware, chips and bits, this isn't buying a computer so much as investing in a new "development board" I can solder other parts onto ... so I'd like to get a good one.
