>90€ AM2+ Board, which chipset, which manufacturer?

[Nickel020]

I'm looking for AM2+ board for less than 90 euros, which pretty much eliminates all the 790FX and 780a boards.

The 790x might be an option, but there are only 2 boards available in Germany, the Gigabyte 790x DS4 and an MSI board. A quick google search also doesn't turn up any reviews of these boards.

I might spend a little more for an MSI K9A2 platinum V2 which is available for around 110€, but Idon't really know if it's worth it (Btw, what's the difference between the V1 and V2?)

Does anyone have any recommendations/any advice? I'm pretty much out of the AMD loop but need an AM2+ board for Intel/Phenom comparison benchmarks.

I have the Gigabyte 790x DS4 and I am happy with it so far.
Am not using a phenom yet so I can't comment on phenom OC performance.

Thanks for the reply!

OC Performance isn't terribly important, stock performance should be on par with the 790FX though if possible.

you should be able to pick up a 780 board for 90eur and lower... i have one of the most high-end uptill now, the asus m3a h-hdmi for only 85eur, for sure lower in Germany
