    Best motherboard choice for 1366 socket

    Hi there just looking for advice on an ATX MoBoaround the £150-£200 range, if I can get away with not spending the extra £50 that would also be an advantage.

    Can anyone give me some help with this.

    Thanks

    Re: Best motherboard choice for 1366 socket

    The June 2010 edition of custom pc did a labs test on lga1366 mobos, and the Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R came out top. It proved very easy to oc, and had one of the best oc's they have seen on a lga1366 board.

    If I was looking for a 1366 mobo, then the gigabyte is the one I would choose.

    Scan have it on their today only page, http://www.scan.co.uk/todayonly/, for £147.07, well within your budget.

    X58A-UD3R is a pretty damn good board, well priced, well featured, well built.
