Hey

I'm seaching for a mirco ATX board for AM2, which im gonna put in a Antec NSK-3480 case with a 380 watts Earthwatts PSU...

Is that Antec EW 380 watts any good for OC and future gfx like HD3850?

Well back to the board...

There can do a bit of overclocking, nothing extreme, but just something i can play with.

Heard a bit about biostar...

Hope you can tell me more...

THX!

Biostar or ABit, had a NF-M2 nView that did 335FSB

Hmm.. Yeah the mATX nForce 6100 is good oc'ers, but kinda hard to sniff up these days with the nForce 7050... At least in Denmark...

So any knows how the 7050 / 7025 performs on the oc field ?

Abit AN-M2

Biostar TA 690G

So which one is best?

Btw.. The cpu im gonna use is a 3500+

DON'T go for the AN-M2. the abit NF-M2 nView is much better, I'm using one right now. Having said that, i would still prefer a Biostar, they seem more predictable (a lot of people seem to have problems with abit boards)

Take a look at the BIOSTAR TForce TF7050-M2 motherboard. I was able to take the HTT to 353,and it has tons of options in the bios.

I loved the Biostar TF6100, had a lot of them, really great OCers
as the time passed Biostar has been improving the mobo, changing the revisions and swapping components for better ones (voltage regulation, ... etc),
the 7050 should be very similar, which is more than good ...

I vote for Biostar, because it was the only mATX mobo with a decent D9 memory overclock for me

Hmm.. Yeah the good old Geforece 6150 mATX chipset is kinda hard to.. these days as said before.

And the only 2 mobo's are able for delivery in denmark atm is Abit AN-M2 and a Gigabyte with G690 chipset.

Would too have a biostar - but they kinda aren't in stock atm..

Probably just gonna wait or buy it in german / sweden or something..
