I'm looking to get a new motherboard after a disappointing experience with the A8R-MVP. I was one of the people who got it before realizing that the vCore was pretty crippled and my vmod killed it (guess that means I need to get better @ soltering :( ).
So anyway, I'm now looking at getting one of the many NF4 boards out there and I was hoping to get some help. There's so damn many and all I really need is a couple of things:
1. Has to be able to do HTT over 300 (prefer about 315, but 300 is alright) since my Winchester is a 3000+ that I know does 2.7 stable on air.
2. Has to have vCore up to at least 1.6 bare minimum.
3. Does not need to be SLI, but a slight preference.
4. Does not need to be SATA II, since I don't have any SII drives right now and by the time I do I'll have a new motherboard.
5. I'll be using a memory divider, so I'm not too concerned with boards that don't like memory going over a certain speed as mine will be near 200.
6. PRICE plays a role for me. I'd like to stay around $100.
Thanks for any help and I have been doing my research, so please don't tell me to just look it up.
The boards I'm looking @ so far are:
Epox 9NPA+, 9NPAJ
DFI Infinity and the DAGF
MSI Neo4-F
or the Asus boards or the SLI cousins of these off of refurbs.
Recommendations?
