what motherboard 939

[uretsai]

i need a 939 ath64 motherboard, what suggestions? everyone seems to go for the dfi-d, why?

[Chimpie]

I'd go for DFI too... The best overclocking board, with every feature u want... What else do u want?!

[uretsai]

are there many problems that come with this board though?

Go for an MSI K8N NEO 2, good board and wont let you down. Also you could get an ABIT AV8 3rd eye, good board, im running one and no problems! Just dont use a thermalright heatsink otherwise you will buckle the board and cant run memory in dimm slot 1!

Everyone has a different opinion on which board is better than another. Truth is, socket 939 is good, so good it’s been hard to screw up making a mobo for it. Not to say it’s not been done, just that it’s not as often. Your best bet, decide what features are important to you on a mother board (on board audio or video, integrated ethernet ports, PCI-e, number of usb connections and other goodies) once you know what your looking for in a board check prices and reviews (hexus has some great ones) of boards with the goodies you want.
If you just want popular opinion I’ve found that one of the most recommended boards from what I’ve read has been ASUS "A8V Deluxe", though for your needs you may want something else.

well, I've got the MSI Neo2 and its good. can't comment on any others - it does what it says on the tin, and more

Im waiting for the Abit NV8. I know HEXUS has a review of it soon, so ill base my decision on that.

Don't you mean the AN8?
The NF8 is socket 754 nforce3 & the AN8 939 nForce 4 but NV8???

I've got an Abit AV8 3rd Eye in my machine and its fine for a normal workstation, not tried to overclock or tweak it yet but its nice fast n stable..

Just building a machine for my old man now with an Asus A8V, will see how the 2 compair as the specs are nigh on identicle...

I will say the ABit was nicer packaged but the Asus comes with more cables which were missed in the Abit packaging...

any nforce 4 boards are supposed to be relatively good

hope so, ordered the board and cpu a minute ago. week 50 athlon 64 3200+ and the dfi ultraD rev a02

[uretsai]

I ordered a 3200+ (turned out to be a week 50) and an SLI-D yesterday (turned out to be rev 02 as well!).

I decided to go for the DFI after reading a number of positive reviews. I have an opportunity to sell most of my old components at a decent price, and I needed somthing now - was pefect timing! I'm going from a 3400+, Asus board (can never remember name), Geil Ram and a 6800GT to the above + Corsair low latency ram and the ability to go SLI for £200.

I've had good experiance with DFI boards in the past, and personally I think they look great too (doesn't look as tacky as you'd think irl).

[uretsai]

we probably ordered from same company, lol
