i built the GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775 into a computer for my wife with an Intel e7500. i was upgrading my ASUS Rampage Formula, with the Q9550, but the ASUS people never really fixed the problems this board had from the beginning. i was so impressed with the GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775 i decided to retire the Rampage Formula, i'm sending it to E-bay to find work elsewhere.
i bought the GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UP5 TH LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor
CORSAIR DOMINATOR GT 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2000
Sunbeam CR-CCTF 120 mm Core-Contact Freezer CPU Cooler
MSI R7950 Twin Frozr 3GD5/OC Radeon HD 7950 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
Rosewill THOR V2-White Edition, THOR V2-W Gaming ATX Full Tower Computer Case, support up to E-ATX / XL-ATX, come with Four Fans
Windows 7 Pro 64bit
and i have the rest here on this computer, 750 watt PSU, 7.1 Sound Wave audio card, WD 1Tb HD.
so i guess now i can play BF3.
anyway.... does anyone have a good link to how to put the Q9550 into the GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775-do the BIOS etc.. this will give me a few points toward getting outa the dog house if the wife ever finds out i built my new computer.
