| May 5, 2016 at 5:20 | comment | added | ivaan | @T.J.L. Yes, you are right but the most important thing in this question was answer to which chipset should togtogtog choose. For overclocking Z170 is a must but if this setup won't be overclocked H110 (PCI Express 2.0) or B150 (PCI Express 3.0) will be enough. | |
| May 4, 2016 at 12:58 | comment | added | T.J.L. | @Ivaan While the K-line does allow overclocking, it is also quite a bit faster when banging away on all cores (4.0 GHz for the K vs. 3.4 GHz for the non-K). If you don't have an appropriately threaded workload, the difference in single-core Turbo performance is much smaller and means the K-line is probably not worth having if you're not going to overclock. Then again, the price difference isn't really all that much. | |
| May 4, 2016 at 12:01 | comment | added | togtogtog | @ivaan No overclocking; and there is no specific need for that CPU, using an i7 brings the advantage that the analyses can work in parallel on 7 of the 8 cores... | |
| May 4, 2016 at 5:57 | comment | added | ivaan | @togtogtog Will you overclock this machine (if no why CPU with K letter) ? | |

Bringing order to the question.

| May 3, 2016 at 13:59 | comment | added | togtogtog | Thanks for your comments and sorry for being so broad... I need just any mainboard (or in general: any configuration) that works with Ubuntu 12.04 and a Core-i7 processor, 32 GB RAM and two 2TB hard drives. This is for a research project. Since I am not so familiar neither with Ubuntu nor with configuring the right computer, I just want to make sure everything will work (I was afraid that the latest hardware might not support an older Ubuntu). I had the experience in the past that Ubuntu 12.04 was not so perfectly working with some generic Fujitsu computer (ethernet problems then). | |

| May 3, 2016 at 13:26 | comment | added | Andy | This is a very broad question. Is there something in the certified hardware list that doesn't meet your requirements? Is there something specific you need this board to do other than support the processor you mentioned? | |
| May 3, 2016 at 10:51 | comment | added | ArtOfCode | This may be too broad - I'm not entirely sure, so I'm not going to unilaterally close this, but you may need to add more details of what you want for this to be concisely answerable. | |
