Evening peeps
I am looking upgrade my motherboard as I am not getting the full potential out of my system.
As you can see from my details at the side, my present board is an AM2+ board and I have a AM3 capable chip.
Also my Gpu is a PCI 3 card and my board is PCI 2.Also running DDR2 Ram.
I would like a board that can unlock the potential of my CPU and GPU as well as allowing for higher overclock as I am not pushing my CPU any higher as my present board doesn't have good VRM cooling.
I presume that most new boards come with SATA 6GBs as well, so that would be an added bonus. Having DDR3 ram would allow me to run faster speed ram.
I have also read somewhere that the 990fx chipset is better as well.
What boards should I consider?
Price is not an major issue as I will save up for the appropriate board. I am looking for something that meets my needs but may allow me to upgrade to a newer AMD chip in the future.
I don't even know where to start, hence why I am asking for advice. name such as Asus Sabretooth spring to mind but what are alternatives
Thanks
