I need the cheapest most reliable motherboard I can get from newegg.ca or elsewhere Here are some of what I've found so far: [url]http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157176[/url] [url]http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157204[/url] [url]http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130601[/url] [url]http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128529[/url] [url]http://ncix.com/products/?sku=64945&vpn=760GM-P23%20%28FX%29&manufacture=MSI%2FMicroStar[/url] [url]http://ncix.com/products/?sku=58834&vpn=GA-M68MT-S2P&manufacture=Gigabyte[/url] Which should I pick? Is there a better option than these? Thanks a lot guys!
I'd say [url]http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157176[/url] because it's full ATX, and has the best chipset out of all of them (I think).
ugghhh it ends up being $93.70... any of the other ones good? I just need something that will do a 6790, 4gb 1333, and a phenom II.. and not give me any problems at all. But thanks for taking a look Shadaez! :)
What are you looking to do with it, just run everything at stock or do you want to overclock? If overclocking, try to get something with heatsinks on the VRM and make sure it has atleast a 4+1 phase power, 4+1 should be a-ok for some light X4 overclocking (if it is an X4), if it's an X6 you're pushing it even with 4+1. If it isn't for overclocking, I don't know pick one, neither of them offer anything big over the others. This one is pretty decent for it's price: [url]http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138283[/url] Offers core unlocking for X2/X3's if that's what you have.
Think I'll go with the biostar one then, thanks man!
