Trying to decide between these Mobos

[Timm]

Hey guys,

I'm looking at upgrading to an i7 920 and need to pick a motherboard
I have narrowed it down to these three.

141-BL-E757-TR <----- Leaning towards this one mostly due to looks

132-BL-E758-A1

132-BL-E758-TR

I'm really looking for something I can learn to overclock on. Any info on the boards would be greatly appreciated, and you don't have to own them (opinions based on looking at the specs are welcome )

Oh and this is the RAM I'm looking at to go along with it --> link

Thanks guys,
Timm

So far I'd say thats your best bet if you're OCing.

Im going with the same motherboard and cpu in a couple weeks. If you get it let me know how you like it.

What do you look at on a motherboard to determine if it will be good at overclocking?

The only safe bet for finding out how well a board will overclock is by reading reviews.

i would go with the 141-BL-E757-TR it looks sweet with all black and inside a black case with white led's or blue led's that would look sick but thats me

They all OC great. The 2 758's are the same the only difference is the warranty.

did evga get rid of there lifetime warranty on motherboard or do they still have some?

Model numbers that end with A1 have lifetime warranties.

I'm happy with the 758-A1 I got a couple weeks back.

EVGA is still having issues with the firmware and VT though, if you're wanting to use that Virtual Technology.

I haven't tried overclocking yet; I'm happy enough going from an ancient AthlonXP 3200+ with 2gb RAM to an i7 920 and 6gb RAM.
