Best inexpensive overclocking 939 Mobo

[Paulieg]

It's time to upgrade my second rig (AKA my wife's computer). It was a nice Epox 754/A64 3000+ setup. I'm looking for a good, still available and economical board that will still help me OC my old A64 4000+ Sandy. The rest of the setup includes a WD 250GB SATA HD, Geforce 7300GT (I know, I know, but it's my wifes computer), Ultra X-finity 500w psu, all in a I-star Nitro full tower. I'm not looking to spend more than $90-100 since it's mostly going to be used for office apps and kids games. However, I want the Mobo to have the capability if I get bored and want to OC it. Opinions?

And obviously, we are talking 939 here...:)

asus boards tend to be wonderful for overclocking. dfi also makes some nice stuff, idk about their amd boards tho.

Yeah, my main rig is a LP Ultra-D, and I've had some recent issues with ASUS boards. Other suggestions? Also, anyone with experience with the Abit AN8 32X? I've found this board still available with some good reviews.

I have an ASUS, and have used nothing but ASUS boards for all my builds and have never had a problem with them. I'm sure Newegg has some 939 ASUS boards for dirt cheap..

Buy foxconn, i had them few on 939 and they were great. Only thing that was bad for oc-ing is low DDR voltage, up to 2.85V but asus is giving even lower voltage.

asrock 939dual sata2

[regan1985]

i agree the asrock is such a good board for the price, u really cant go wrong, agp and pci ex, sata2 port plus 2 sata1s. likes most ram out there! only bad point is the v-core is 1.4 max without a mod, but thats easy! but 1.4 could still get u a good stable overclock!

im dont work for asrock i jst had that board and it surved me well:)

i just ordered a Abit AV8 off ebay this weekend for 56 bucks i will report back with my findings

i have one of those asrocks, as well as a foxconn sli board, and would vouch for either, they both do over 300fsb

edit: the foxconn model no is in my sig

I'm really hoping to stick with the Nforce4 chipset. I've had nightmare issues with prior Via and SiS builds. I really appreciate the advice, but please reserve advice to boards with the Nforce4 chipset.

i have it and love it. if you can find it, uninhibited recommendation

***edit

it might not be that cheap anymore. cheapest i found it for was 150$+, (the 80$ VC version at newegg is not worth it, as it doesn't oc as well). i got mine for 45$ open box, but i would recommend it up to ~75$ or so, otherwise get a different board. sorry!

ASUS all the way!!!!
