Re: Another new build..need help ASUS isn’t the only manufacturer having that problem with Foxconn LGA1156 sockets. These boards presumably wont exhibit problems unless they are overclocked aggressively. I agree however that it might be better to avoid boards that use Foxconn LGA1156 sockets and go for boards with LOTES / Tyco AMP LGA1156 sockets instead. Just to be on the safe side. Normal use should be OK though.
Its not necessary to spend a lot on the motherboard but if USB 3.0 and SATA 6G is of interest or you think it might be in the future the Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD6 has it (albeit at ~$249.99).

Spending a lot on a P55 based board sort of defeats any money saving advantages though. |
