Basic Mobo for an FX60

[Poly15]

I need a really reliable mobo for an FX60. This is going to be a backup system for a very wealthy kid. The only thing he needs is Sata raid, 1 PCIE slot, FX60 supports, and just to be reliable. Any advise? I would like to keep it under like $110 if possible.

BACKUP SYSTEM???!!? my backup system is a 1800+ athlon xp!

My condolences to the FX-60...

Asus boards are quite reliable... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131524 should work

[fullup3]

buy a 3800+...overclock it, and keep the change!:cool:

He mentioned he is looking for an basic mobo for the fx60, lol.
Why would he buy an 3800+ ?, when he already has the fx60. ;)

For mobo DFI Ultra-D, they are cheap enough for such an nice
board.

GigaByte GeForce 6100 :up:
Stable and dirt cheap

No need for SLI... Rather not pay the extra for it...

Anyone know if these are reliable? Looks like what I need with Sata Raid and it has fx60 support.

Excellent board. GigaByte stable (very stable)
It wont OC worth crap without a dozen voltmods.. but as a standby stable rig.. it is an Excellent choice

[zenzog]

I personally like MSI for stability... the NF4 Platinum is a nice one

:/

It tops out your $110 limit. ;)

[Poly15]

His goal is only 3GHZ out of the FX60 with a big typhoon on it. Think I will be able to get that with the options on the gigabyte or should I go with this MSI?

With an FX60's unlocked multi and a good heat sink.. shouldn't be a problem...

If thats his goal you better get an DFI U-D or eXpert. :p:

Unless of course you want to start vmodding mobos. ;)

LOL, thats the board I mentioned in my very
1st post in this thread. :p:

The U-D will get the job done and make sure to flash to newest bios for
the U-D(Ultra-D). :toast:

One thing though, it has no Raid...only SATA. :cool:
Other then that its an great nF4 board.

[mdzcpa]

For a stable NF4 board thats decently priced and has good features, i like the MSI NEO4. I've built a few dual core rigs of this board and all of them run great.

My 2 cents.

[Poly15]

I need to raid his raptors.... newegg says it has sata raid....

The first two are Crap.. and actually yes all of these boards DO support the FX60.. as DO ALL s939 boards.. All it requires is a bios flash

[shadowing]

From what I am reading... it seems like the main priority is to find a board that can get a FX60 to 3.0 GHZ...

It would be much easier if we can know it is on air, or water...

Just for my $0.02, I think the Biostar 6100 should be the choice.

[mnewxcv]

where does it say get it to 3ghz? the impression i got was that it would be kept stock.

[Poly15]

the requirements are 3GHZ on a big typhoon, SATA Raid for raptors, and FX60 Supports

evga doesn't make the mobo, they brand it. If that's the board I think it is, it's made by Jetway.
