Motherboards ivybridge chipsets

Hello, My mate has just bought an i5 3330 and needs a motherboard to suit, he wants one that runs ivybridge cpu out of the box with no bios update required, a dedicated ivybride chipset??
Cheers.

Many thanks sir, i think the H77 chipset is the way to go, he insists on a asus board as well, any recommendations??

 

H77 is a good choice, usually they have just enough features without being obscene. i5 3330 is a cracking chip, I've been running one for over a year first with a H61 chipset and now with a H67 chipset.

Recommendations in the asus range would be anything with decent VRM cooling, there are allot of H77 boards out there that lack this. I know its not going to be thrashed with that chip, but it's always worth it.

 

3330 owner here putting a shout out for the Gigabyte G.1 M3 Sniper mobo.

 

thanks for replys and suggestions, my mate wants to keep costs as low as poss and has decided on a Asus P8H77-M LE S1155 Intel H77 DDR3 mATX mobo from CCL, only £56!

 

Decent choice.
You can't go far wrong with Asus.
