Socket 754 Mainboard + PCI-E

[Aynjell]

Well, I got a 7600GT I really like, and a 3200+ newcastle I really like. Any reccomendable bugfree motherboards you can reccomend?

DFI NF4X is bad. :slapass:

The Abit NV8 has a bad starting bios but apparently works well with a bios flash. :stick:

And then there is biostar and MSI, who also make PCI-E mainboards, but I've no clue how they'd work out for me. The MSi board isn't sold at newegg so that really rules it out for me... any other ideas/reccomendations?

which should cover you if you ever feel like going SLi

Yeh, that's a good motherboard. Nice overclocker too. :) The best rated s754 PCI-E board on Newegg iirc.

Excuse me, but why is NF4X bad?

i was thinking of going over to PCIe myself, and the only OK mobo i could find was DFI (definetly wanna OC)

(i've heard that 8npa+sli does about 220FSB? )

EPoX EP-8NPA SLI is a very nice choice. However the 2 ram slots and I heard thay have low voltage adjustments in bios something like +0.025 volts above stock only.

If he really wants to crank voltage into his ram with this board.. it isn't that hard to voltmod Epox..

Anytime you do work in the bios, it fails to reboot afterwards. This disturbs me. Secondly, tempurature sensors simply do not work. This is a huge downer. :nono:
