Solve : Good replacement motherboard?? |
|
Answer» ASUS P5Q Pro LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel MOTHERBOARD vs. ECS BLACK SERIES P45T-A LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard Just wondering if I should wait or not. I just need to order the motherboard + 3 fans and my rig will be complete. EDIT: The first motherboard I linked to is the one that's out of stock.I'd pick the P5Q Pro out of those two, I wouldn't trust ECS.Alright. Yeah, the motherboard you originally linked me in the budget gaming rig thread was replaced with the one I linked in this thread, and of course it goes out of stock when I get my paycheck (today). I just want to order the mother board and fans and build my computer..Quote have good resistance and conductivity where needed. What does this mean ? ? Obviously a MBoard without those features would be a piece of crap MBoard....Quote from: kizza1645 on July 09, 2009, 12:34:53 AM sigh... Sigh?? those two features- you may as well say, "get this brand, they have electrical conductors" if a mobo didn't have "resistance and conductivity" where needed, it would be missing resistors or traces where needed. Tell me how that doesn't consist of a damaged or crap motherboard?Quote from: kizza1645 on July 10, 2009, 01:40:21 AM Giving better conductivity, therefore better performance,Not exactly. Conductivity is not so critical. Better boards have shorter traces and consistent impedance. One WAY to make shorter traces is to interconnect parts exactly as defined by the IC manufacturers. THICKNESS of copper is not important. Other factors such as consistent distances between layers are critical. For example, if one copper trace passes over a 'hole' in the ground PLANE, then that inconsistency causes the trace to act as an antenna; causes signal anomalies. Also critical is positions of numerous bypass capacitors. Signal currents between ICs are typically so low that no copper trace can be too thin. Resistance is not relevant. But impedance is critical. Impedance is not determined by copper thickness. It is determined by other parameters such as sharp bends, trace length, and a relationship to other layers. |
