well, due to an unfortunet event my tforce550 needs an rma, a friend offered to buy me an openbox m2n-sli deluxe, according to reviews this boards not a great clocker, far worse then my current board was b4 it was killed, heres the thing, from what i have been reading the 502 and up bios seem to fix the overclocking and ram issues with the m2n-sli, im just wondering if anybody here has tryed one and what their exp is with it is?
i dont care for asus personaly due to bios and hardware support issues i have had to deal with on many diffrent models of their boards all the way back to the socket7 days, but its FREE and its a board that retails for over 143bucks, he also offered to let me get an asrock ati 1600 chipset board insted(close to same price) but it isnt a clocker with current chips, 1.4v max on cpu(to little for most 3500's to run at 2.8+ in my exp)
what do yall think, he plans to order 3 boards today or tomarrow so we get them tue or wed.
