| 1384535 | 2014-09-21 19:35:00 | I just order the i5 4690 but I'm not sure what would be the best motherboard for this CPU, any suggestions? | lostsoul62 (16011) | ||
| 1384536 | 2014-09-21 20:16:00 | Something made by ASUS or Gigabyte. It doesn't matter so much about the model - if you think you will add more parts later then stick with ATX rather than mATX. Features - well, what do you need? |

| 1384537 | 2014-09-21 20:54:00 | I would also, depending on what mobo you get look at what BIOS it needs for that CPU. Because if the BIOS on the mobo (when you buy it) doesnt support it, it's not going to turn on. Until you flash the BIOS to one that supports the CPU | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1384538 | 2014-09-21 22:26:00 | Well I know I'm putting a Gigabyte R9 270X video card on it which is over 15 inches long and it should have the ability to house about 16 USB's because I do not like HUBs and I'm thinking around $150 but if I see a good deal I'll go up to $200. Also that's why I'm posting because I don't want to Flash the BIOS. | lostsoul62 (16011) | ||
| 1384539 | 2014-09-21 22:38:00 | Like I said if the mobo doesnt support the CPU you'll have no option but to flash it. Before you buy it. Even if the shop has to do it. Or its not going to turn on after you assemble it Some of the latest ASUS mobos you dont even need a CPU. You can flash one with just a PSU connected |

| 1384540 | 2014-09-22 01:05:00 | I like Asrock as well, they tend to have more features for the same price and are I think the 3rd best selling mb. Here's one that meets your USB requirements www.computerlounge.co.nz I checked the CPU support list and it includes the 4690 www.asrock.com |
