Just as the title states!
I know the FX-60 hasn't been out for a long time just yet, but what do you guys think would be the best mobo for this CPU?
I am builing a rig based on the FX-60 with a Raid 0 config. and I don't plan on OC'ing.
Just some advice please.

You're missing the best part! :p:

Seriously, if your going SLI, I recommend DFI NF4 SLI Expert, or else the Ultra-D.

For the best, no ocing board, i might say the Asus A8N32 SLI
dfis are overclocking oriented.

I second that :toast:

Both Dynasty and I are using the FX60/Exoert combo and it is working out great so far :p:

Run away from the A8N32-SLI DLX if you are using SLI. I have tried both boards and i perfer the eXpert by far!

Hey Crash, I've got the A8n32 SLI and have been thinking about getting the Expert. What all do you like better about the DFI or what do you dislike about the Asus?

Here is a more important question for you
How much are you willing to spend on a Mobo?

ANd he could spend even more than that for the Mobo but I would like to know his limit

My stuff ate my Expert. In purely mechanical terms, I think the Expert is a bit flimsy compared with the A8N32, which is the Tonka Toy of mobos. The Asus certainly doesn't flex like the Expert does.

Well for one EXpert has superior layout. Also in my case i fidn it much painless to overclock on the expert and it can boot/handle much higher frequencies....Took a pain in the butt to do 280htt on a8n32 but it eas EASY on expert.,,expert is the ultimate tweaking mobo many more options than the a8n32...

The expert does not kill cpu's it was an isolated case. Grow up please "omg i dont want to go in there it is dark"

Well, thanx for the replies!
I want to go SLI but not right away. I do have plans for it in the future.
I have read alot on the Expert and IMO it looks and sounds like it would be an excellent board for any user.
I don't trust ASUS, not for 32 bit anyhow. I have heard and read alot of good things about the ASUS A8N-SLI PREMIUM but just don't know.
I really don't want to OC but you all know how that goes.
Money isn't an issue as I am going to be purchasing with Tax return.

Expert - Dual 32M Pi Stable @ 3302 and still going, but if you don't want to OC get it anyways. Good layout for SLI and good bios.
