    Budget 790GX motherboard.

    This is the first I have seen under £70:

    Good for overclocking and any potential unlocking too.

    Re: Budget 790GX motherboard.

    Its a good motherboard, but due to the lack of decent cooling, and the complete lack of cooling on the VRMs, not suitable for really heavy overclocking/benching
    I wish Biostar did the same board, but with heatsinks/heatpipes, otherwise you have to buy some decent aftermarket cooling if you want to seriously overclock, which ups the price,
    Its a pity, as I was looking at it, but am now looking at the MSi 790GX, or the Giga UD4P 790X....
    Or ofcourse I get the Biostar and some thermalright aftermarket coolers....

    After just gone this route myself, and having a massive dig about for info, I can highly recomend the Asus variant.
