Here is a configuration I would like to make:
Intel Core i5-3470S 65W + Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H + Kingston HyperX DDR3 2133MHz 16GB
Now if anyone can help me with the following:
- What is the sound quality of this motherboard? It uses VT2021 chip which technically is ok (192khz/24bit) but what is the quality of sound output which depends on D/A converters? Up until now I had Gigabyte EP35-DS3 (Realtek889) and quality of analog output is very good, the one I was satisfied with. I would like to have at least comparable or better output with this board. Some people claim bass is not as good. I have good speakers so I will probably hear if it is not as good as my old MB. Any ideas, recommendations, advices?
- some people on claim to have issues with 1.0 revision of this board. is 1.1 any better? what are actual differences? The reason why I ask this is because I can get 1.0 revision in my country but they don't seem to have 1.1. Is is worth waiting or rather look for another board?
- some people claim to have issues with this board "3D" UEFI? any issues there?
- Is it worth the money to have 2133 vs cheaper 1600 mhz ram? what are real-world benefits? is 2133 overclocked or still regular speed for ddr3? I don't want overclocking, I just want everything to run stable, it is fast enough already.
Thank you all for your advices that will follow.
