Hi,
I am upgrading my current desktop and need a motherboard recommendation to be paired with an i5-2500 CPU. My requirements aren't that steep, at least I don't think so.
I have the ASRock P67 Extreme4 and the MSI P67A-G43 on my list simply because they were both used in recent Tom's Hardware builds. Any other recommendations? Thanks.
Edit: Now I am reading about the Sandy Bridge chipset failures that affect P67 and both the boards on my list, recommended by Tom's Hardware are P67. WTF? Why would they recommend faulty boards? I read it affects the 3GB SATA channels which happen to be what all my devices are. So confused.
