Hi all,
I have narrowed down my choices in motherboards.
Going to used for:
Gaming
High overclocking
Something reliable for years
mATX
Good quality power phase!
My two choices:
Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H 880G

Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2P Motherboard Rev 3.1

If anyone thinks they are rubbish tell me.
My specs:
HD 4870
Sound card (x-fi)
Athlon II x3 (95w)
Any other suggestions would be great thanks.
Wanted a motherboard within the £45-50 range.
Been looking at ASUS in that price range, but they only have 3+1 power phase, which I definitely do not want to go to. 4+1 up.
Does anyone know the quality of the phases?
And as suggested to me before, a fan blowing on it will be ok. Could I just shove a 40MM fan over the thing? Or is there any heatsinks I could buy?
Because my CPU is 95W, and them boards can support 125W, with 4+1 phase I would like some good cooling on it.
Definitely 125W supported motherboard.
Thanks everyonejust need to see if I am buying the right motherboard in that price range. Need something strong that will last years, and something that doesn't mind a bit of overclocking on.
Over £50 is a no go, on a budget![]()
