Best Socket 939 MB

Fusion · Feb 28, 2007

I am looking to upgrade my old socket 939 rig to CORE2DUO, however I only have about £100 to spend, so a full upgrade is out of the question. I have recently bought a HIS 1800XL, (upgrade from 9200SE), and am now looking for a nice PCI express m/b to run it on. I currently have a x2 3800 cpu, 2gb corsair value select ram etc... Any advise would be welocme.

dfi are good, my rdx200 only cost me £40 ands its crossfire but for £80 could have got the better 3200cx

DFI, for overclockers, are probably one of the best ocing boards there is. However, you MUST spend alot of time with it. If you want ease of use, you could go for this ABIT (newegg.com reference sorry). This board will be alot easier for ocing than the DFI, because with DFI, as I said, you have to spend alot of time with it and its picky about its ram and what not. Even if you dont OC, this board will be a better option or something along these lines. Hope it helps.

I have that same board War Eagle metioned above available in my FS/FT thread, at an awesome price to boot. I guarantee the condition to be better than just your average open box. Actually I dare to say it is MINT condition. :toast:

i just picked up that abit AT8 boared not to long ago. absolutly awsome board.

Protius · Feb 28, 2007

the abit, asus or dfi version of the 3200 are all great boards

psychomage343 · Mar 1, 2007

i personally like the asus a8n32 sli deluxe, although a bit expensive, it's a quiet board, took my hardware out of my dfi board and got a better oc on my asus board, plus it just seems more stable. so my 2 cents, or whatnot for currency is the asus board, although the abit is a very impressive board, and if it weren't for the fact that the asus was given to me i wouldn've picked up the abit that linkin had on fs/ft, that's a badass board

I looked at the Lanpart RDX200-CF-UT, but found out from a mate that got it cheap off overclockersthat he had problems with the ram timmings or something. I love O/C, but as my ram is not the best for O/C, I won't really be bothering pushing the CPU further than say 220FSB.

I had a quick look in your post http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=23681 but was unable to see it in the photo, is it in another post? also would you ship to the UK?

I love my Abit AT8 32X mobo. I have the same CPU as you, and I'm running an OC (not maxed out) at 2.655 Ghz with my HT=295. My max Orthos stable HT is 310. I ran it for 30 minutes.

Many people will say "get a DFI" but they are too much money and trouble for socket 939, which is technically a discontinued socket package.

Don't get me wrong, there is plenty of time left for running my system, but they're not making anymore socket 939 CPUs to my knowledge.

The Asus MVP Deluxe, mines been running a Athlon 3000+ at 400FSB (bois limit it will do around 430ish stable through Systool if i lower the multi to X6) X7 Multi (2.8GHZ) for over a year now with no problems what so ever. Cracking board stable and quiet.

if you get the regular asus a8n sli (non 32) you can do both crossfire and sli.

ASUS A8R32-MVP Deluxe No need to say more - Overclocks very very well, very stable, the crossfire is awesome, its what all motherboards should be made of
