Having built hacks for years on many different chipsets mainly thanks to the shared knowledge by kind people here and much persistence on my part, I am now contemplating my next build. So much choice, my most succesful builds have probably been on z68 or z77 chipsets with UEFI native sleep and power management.
Obvioulsy the supporting hardware on the motherboard such as sata chips, audio and graphics is important but what about the chipset?
Golden builds on this site are full of z68 boards, I like z77 and ivybridge integration but now we have socket 2011 and x79.
X79 seems to have power management issues,
Anyone care to throw in an expert opinion?
