Picking a great, cheap overclocking mobo (939,NF4)
 

I'm going to upgrading to 939 to OC, I need a motherboard with 4 DDR DIMM slots, 1 PCI express slot, and be able to OC most venice cores (1.35/1.4V) chip to 2.7-3 Ghz. Any help is appriciated.

Does it have to be NF4?

This is harder to find; if you do have one please let me know. Price is unimportant to me;)

Thats what I'm shooting for :P, but I want a mobo that wont limit my chips OC potential. I've heard of some real stability issues with the ATI 200 series chipset. Most of it was crossfire related, but I will be using a 7800 GT with the mobo. So no it doesnt have to be NF4, but it does have to be stable.

Ohhhh what I meant was that was the specific type of chip I'd be using. And the speeds of 2.7-3 Ghz are what I'm going for. Sorry wasn't paying attention to what I was implying. Yeah I would be interested in one too :P.

Well if I'm looking at the $100 range I might as well get a great motherboard. I was hoping there is mobo similar in value (Overclocking and Price) to my old Shuttle An-35 Nforce 2 Ultra. Not to say that isnt a good mobo, I would just take something full featued for $100.

that DFI ATI board seems to go like hell, I'm getting one myself, it's compact and yet offers all the features one could want,

it's also priced at $100

I'm a little confused, The DFI mobo is an NF 4 Ultra, but has 2 PCI Express slots? Is that an error on neweggs part?

Well, let me know when you get it I can wait until then

that DFI has Dual PCIe

the DFI ATI board will be cheaper of course: http://us.dfi.com.tw/Product/xx_prod...YPE=LP&SITE=US

but $126 is a good price for such a capable OC board

One more question, I understand NF 4 mobos need plenty of power. At the moment I've got a 520W PSU, but the PSU only has a 20 pin connector. The dual PCIE mobo has a 24 pin connector. My question is wth a converter from 20 pin to 24 pin, would I have any OC/Stablility problems? Using a converter should be Ok right?

well.. DFI gives NO SUPPORT if you don't use a native 24-pin Power Supply.

Mod the Ultra-D to SLI-D

DFI NF4 UT board is priced around $110, you can mod the chip for both SLI and SATA II. I had used 20-pin PSU for over 2 months at the beginning without any problem (single vcard).

Then, the word cheap is not applicable.

Cheap = Poor
Expensive /= quality

I'd say S-939 boards that can do =>300HTT at 300FSB 1T memory are considered excellent.

SATA 2 does not officialy exist FYI

Well, I thnk my 20 pin Aspire (Junk I know, but it was $20 from a friend and supposedly puts out 35A on the 12v rail) would run the mobo, without problems, but I'd rather trust DFI engineers and be safe. Now for a power supply.....
