Workhorse of yesteryear can keep up today.
2 of 2 found this helpful Awesome price for a well built mobo of yesterday. Good value for a fun build to learn on w/ quality build. This is one of Intel’s powerhouse of chipsets, the i5500 “Tylersberg” on ICH10R Intel AHCI/RAID 0/1/5/10. It takes most of the, up to 95w LGA1366 Xeon 56xx/55xx & Intel Core 1st gen (single CPU only). Dual high end cooling options are limited due to tight socket spacing but I used Noctua NH-D9DX i4 3U. The Noctua NH-U9DX i4 good as well. Limited to a tight 95x95mm foot print. Limited USB (3, +2 headers). After your GPU we’re left w/ only “2” PCIe so make them count, + 1 legacy PCI. I chose to go PCIe to USB3.1+ THunderbolt & PCIe Intel WiFi6+BT5.1 Just add USB3 hub & now on USB3 M-Audio. it has the dedicated MIO audio but expensive & dated.
What’s more is it’s true ATX so it plays nicely in many cases. It can run lots of types of RAM including NON ECC low timing RAM. Pick your RAM in sets of 2,4,6 if dual CPU. Can run as single CPU & 1,2,3 stick. I only wish I sprung for the non ”C” version w/ AUSU Pike 8ch SAS+SATA RAID. You can add an old PCIe SAS card & bring life of SATA-3.0, 6gb/s HDD as they run great on these. I’m not a gamer but I can’t tell if I’ve maxed out the PCIe lanes on a RTX-2060 Ti 6g 3.0 on the 2.0 slot. Plays nice for it age
