Miek Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 It depends on more than the brand. A reputable company can have a lousy model of motherboard as well as some good ones. Search MOBOs via what needs of yours they satisfy. Will you be using AMD or Intel? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cirro Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 I have had multiple good experiences with Biostar, haven't used a DFI board in a long time but the ones i used were fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
underclocked Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 im not quite sure which way to go core2quad,i3,i5,17 or phenomII 965 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E.A Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 im not quite sure which way to go core2quad,i3,i5,17 or phenomII 965 for these i recommend any gigabyte 790fx/x/gx...same thing with asus but search and read reviews before choosing a board i am speaking generally because i do not know your budget limitations ..as for 775 ..p45-ud3r/l ...and 1156 p55-ud3r/ud4/ud4p/or higher..same thing with 1366.. good luck ....i think we can help you better if you tell us what is your budget for a board and which cpu you prefer ...good luck..:D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
