Top10 Motherboards of today???

crosses · Sep 2, 2006

I was just wondering what yaall considered to be the top 10 mobos of today. Both for AMD and for Intel. I was looking at this board and it seem to be a work of art, its an AM2. Man am stil a bit baffled as to which processor and board to buy for a future investment. Anyways just gimme your 10 boards OK. :rockout:

personally,i think ecs boards are cack.

Ketxxx · Sep 2, 2006

Asus
Gigabyte
DFI
Albatron
Msi

the rest suck really. top 3 in that list are all anybody should really consider for a good stable system imo.

I'd put Supermicro, Iwill and Tyan above those. Then again those generally are high end boards and no overclocking kings or anything.

Id have to agree with albatron i have this board and i had a computer a while ago that i had for like 2 years and they'er great. this one puts up with alot of stress and the other one never gave me a single problem.

single mobo, i think the jetway 939gt4-sli is one of the best because of it's amazing features, it's price, and overclocking ability

drade · Sep 2, 2006

Dfi
Asus
Abit
Elite Group

With these brands, Iv'e never seen to have an issue (Havent Ordered an asus yet but Am today for a client). IMO these are great brands.

BigD6997 · Sep 2, 2006

best mobo for 939 is the DFI SLI Expert by far

best Conroe board for the pice (so ive heard from many people) is the Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 Motherboard, as it oc's very well for a $150 conroe baord, just cant have crossfire or sli

but the best brands imo are

DFI
ASUS
ABIT

those are my top three

Asus P5B Deluxe <=== for Conroe

DFI Lanparty UT NF4 Ultra / SLI / Expert / Venus <=== socket 939

The new crosshair AM2 mobo by Asus seems rather nice

_33 · Sep 2, 2006

I correct myself, P5W DH Deluxe is much better, overclocks more.

drade · Sep 2, 2006

That right there is a great mobo by the way

cdawall · Sep 2, 2006

best s754 is the machspeed k8m8ms b/c it oc like crazy not to mention it was made in the US so it is not a sweatshop board

g12rxz · Sep 3, 2006

ECS isn't bad, just dont expect the world when you try to overclock, beyond that, rock solid.

well once you get around the fact that you can only winflash the bios; they often times have one hell of a lot of options when it comes to ram oh and the oc you get isnt half bad it just depends on what you use

Deleted member 24505 · Sep 3, 2006

for my picks-
asus-built three machines using asus(two for mates+mine),no probs
gigabyte-the ds3 is a top board for a connie,500+fsb(NICE)
dfi-good quality,good support,good for clocking
ecs/elite group-mutton dressed as lamb,my mate has a 939 one with stupid led's all over it.
msi-ok,had one ages ago,no probs.

crosses · Sep 4, 2006

OK now narrow it down to AM2!

I wish I had this board

It's not THAT great... P5B-Deluxe is a better overclocker.... My P5WDH can only hit 420 FSB.... Seems that's on PAR with the majority out there... Not to mention the RAM diverders on the board suck ass. You can only run 1:1 or MAYBE 4:5. Anything over that and you're SOL. My 6600 OC'd to 3.4 GHz is a nice clock, but my GSkill D9's which I know for a fact run 1080 Mhz at 4-4-4-12 can only run at 945 Mhz on this board. Asus needs a BIOS update to fix this mess....

it could definatly be better, but i think its rooted to psu problems which i hope to fix soon. im only 100% stable at about 2.5ghz i think with a new psu and possibly a better cpu cooler i can easily sit stable at 2.7-2.8ghz.

yeah, the ram dividers definatly need some attention.

You can achieve higher fsb's up to and beyond 500mhz after a simple voltmod to increase the voltage to the northbridge

ABIT is great.. I remember my mobos (BE6, NF7-S) with joy. :cheers:

I KNOW Asrock doesn't even try to be on a great-mobo-list, but I think they deserve some attention with their Dual-Sata2. It impressed the butts out of me and many others.

if you're planning to overclock don't choose the ASUS M2N-E, i think the SLI version has some problems too :shadedshu
