CPU/Mobo Which motherboard for the phenom II X4 965 BE ?

[fiazio]

I'm having a hard time deciding which mother board I should go for.

Won't be using the cross fire until a year or so, I'm not into gaming that much.

Will be over clocking in a year.
Suggest me a cheap but good mobo, thus I'll spend the saved on a better gpu.

For now its :
x4 965 : 9600
gigabyte ud-4: 10000

If you would be overclocking 965BE, it's better to have heatsink on your mosfets(above 1.4V). MSI 790GX-G65 for 7K(great overclocker) , MSI 785GMT-E65 for 5.5K, Biostar 790GX A3+ for 6.8K are good options. Asus 785 EVO for 5.8K too is a good option, a bit picky about ram though.If you could afford MSI 790FX-GD70 or Gigabyte 790FXT-UD5P are great overclockers, should be around 10-11K.

I'll probably go for the UD5P, but why is the UD5P more costly than the others?

790FX-GD70 is a better overclocker, gigabyte has better warranty support in India. If you are considering 790XT-UD4P, then 790x chip would support 8x+8x crossfire whereas 790FX could support atleast 16x+16x.cooling and phase design are better in UD5P and better oc support in bios comparted to UD4P.

u can try this mobo...

Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3R Motherboard - GA-P55A-UD3R by: Gigabyte -

UD3R...its 1k costlier, and supports upto 2200mhz ddr3, so if u upgrade RAM in near future, it wudn't b a problem...
also, its a very good overclocker...from wat i have heard
and UD4P is overpriced in india

^^^ He's asking mobo for AMD, not 1156 processor.

 

[mav2000]

Msi gd70 is a great board..am using it myself and its a good overclocker also..the other option is giga ud5p.

 

[Happy Singh]

As you said you will overclock once a year then go for MSI 790GX-G65 in around 6.7k. save money and get a good GPU.

that is wat i have suggested mate

 

[comp@ddict]

that is wat i have suggested mate

dude... that mobo is a P55, the processor is a Phenom II

Both dont like each other.

 

[Tech_enthu]

First I would like to know from you whether you want DDR3 rams in your system or DDR2 ?

then the choice of mobos will become clear.

No probs. Happens with all of us. For a second, I thought you were refering to some $ converted price which would like 4700
