Looking For A New Motherboard

[GaiusMaxwell]

hey guys,

 

Basically im getting tired of my N650SLI, i dont use the SLI and the overclocking capabilities are somewhat disappointing

 

My budget for a new mobo is $150-200, i dont care about xfire or SLI (im also buying a gtx 260 core 216), basically my needs are a socket 775, compatible with DDR2 and to be an average/good overclocker

 

is there a nice board in that price range or would i need to dish out more for the new p45/x48 chipsets?

 

thanks,

love

A bit biased but i personally like the Biostar TPower I45 board. Great for overclocking (High FSB) crossfire if you want, it's their. A bit difficult when it comes to ram but nothing that should discourage you though.

The DFI LanParty Dark P45 "Plus" is also good (makes sure it's the plus) great clocker as well.

Another board would be the MSI P45 Platinum (has a lot of features, great for overclocking both dual and quad cores)

All in your price range.

My vote goes to the MSI until I play with the Biostar.
