Best inexpensive overclocking 939 Mobo

PaulieG · Apr 3, 2007

It's time to upgrade my second rig (AKA my wife's computer). It was a nice Epox 754/A64 3000+ setup. I'm looking for a good, still available and economical board that will still help me OC my old A64 4000+ Sandy. The rest of the setup includes a WD 250GB SATA HD, Geforce 7300GT (I know, I know, but it's my wifes computer), Ultra X-finity 500w psu, all in a I-star Nitro full tower. I'm not looking to spend more than $90-100 since it's mostly going to be used for office apps and kids games. However, I want the Mobo to have the capability if I get bored and want to OC it. Opinions?

And obviously, we are talking 939 here...

asus boards tend to be wonderful for overclocking. dfi also makes some nice stuff, idk about their amd boards tho.

PaulieG · Apr 3, 2007

Yeah, my main rig is a LP Ultra-D, and I've had some recent issues with ASUS boards. Other suggestions? Also, anyone with experience with the Abit AN8 32X? I've found this board still available with some good reviews.

I have an ASUS, and have used nothing but ASUS boards for all my builds and have never had a problem with them. I'm sure Newegg has some 939 ASUS boards for dirt cheap..

Buy foxconn, i had them few on 939 and they were great. Only thing that was bad for oc-ing is low DDR voltage, up to 2.85V but asus is giving even lower voltage.

asrock 939dual sata2

regan1985 · Apr 3, 2007

i agree the asrock is such a good board for the price, u really cant go wrong, agp and pci ex, sata2 port plus 2 sata1s. likes most ram out there! only bad point is the v-core is 1.4 max without a mod, but thats easy! but 1.4 could still get u a good stable overclock!

im dont work for asrock i jst had that board and it surved me well

i just ordered a Abit AV8 off ebay this weekend for 56 bucks i will report back with my findings

Grings · Apr 3, 2007

i have one of those asrocks, as well as a foxconn sli board, and would vouch for either, they both do over 300fsb

edit: the foxconn model no is in my sig

I'm really hoping to stick with the Nforce4 chipset. I've had nightmare issues with prior Via and SiS builds. I really appreciate the advice, but please reserve advice to boards with the Nforce4 chipset.

jetway 939 gt4 sli is nf4, sli, and it rocks at ocing.

i have it and love it. if you can find it, uninhibited recommendation

***edit

it might not be that cheap anymore. cheapest i found it for was 150$+, (the 80$ VC version at newegg is not worth it, as it doesn't oc as well). i got mine for 45$ open box, but i would recommend it up to ~75$ or so, otherwise get a different board. sorry!
