A ASUS M3N72-D AM2+ nForce SLI 750a Motherboard and cost about £68, it's very nice and has plenty of features but I got a new identical HDD for RAID 0 and I just can't get it to work sadly(I've never done this RAID thing before though).

£110.00 for an XFX X58i (socket 1366) from ebay. Retails for £195.00.

Last week, i discover the motherboard is defective, and now i can't eve return it.

I'm going to purchase a budge 1366 motherboard.

I believe I paid about $350 for an Intel DX38BT motherboard, e8400 C2D and 2GB of DDR3 memory about 2 years ago. I don't particularly like the motherboard but I can't justify replacing it until it dies.

About £190, a total waste.

How you did it? My one is crashing at everything over 750@GPU. Any Voltmod or special version?

Yea, voltmod
It could actually do 870Mhz core from the beginning, but I have had to scale that back to 850Mhz
So even with watercooling the poor underfill used on these cards shows... (The system actually hardlocked twice when playing Starcraft II so I think 850Mhz is pushing it now too, poor card )

Asus P7P55D PRO since this february, bought it at $210 in my local market and has been giving me good results with my core i5 750 and ATI 5770.

GA-EP43-UD3L, $85.00 (US). I bought it, when the board first came out. It does what I need it to do.

 

[Punkid]

[Xero07]

My MOBO is a GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R - bought it for $206. It has all the bells and whistles that comes with a pricey board. I love Gigabyte boards. Don't know if I'll ever go back to anything else.

Here's the rest of my stuff - this is my new build from just a week ago:

Intel i7-930 processor
XIGMATEK Dark Knight-S1283V cooler
OCZ Agility 2 128GB SSD
Western Digital 1TB Black Caviar HD
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 12GB (3 x 4GB) DDR3 SDRAM 1333
Two MSI N460GTX CYCLONE 1GD5/OC GeForce GTX 460 video cards (SLI)
ABS SL series SL1050 1050W SILVER Certified, modular power supply
NZXT Phantom case

EVGA X58 SLI, bought August 16th 2009 for $319.94 along side my i7 920 for $331.96. $13.99 air shipping got it to my door next day and its been going strong ever since, best $709.45 I ever spent.

@Per Hansson: how they say - "Nice job, well done"

$105 for an ASUS P5Q Pro (LGA 775, Intel P45) in september 08 - part of a newegg combo deal with my Core 2 Duo E8500. I don't need the second GPU slot, but with the combo deal it was cheaper than a single-slot from MSI, ASUS, or Gigabyte.

In 2005, though, I paid $160 for a Socket 939 DFI NF4 Ultra with a lot of features i didn't need or use, such as SLI (with a #2 pencil mod), dual gigabit LAN, and tons of voltage control and overclocking options. I could have gotten by with a board that cost half as much!

Foxconn nForce4, $60.

 

[Alster37]

I spent £65 on mine and to be honest It doesn't have as many features as I would like it to

 

[Guest]

£46 Asus P5P41D.. emergency Buy after Gigabtye n650i went tits-up .. and frankly its faster, and better. The dual channel memory works in dual channel mode. SLI was Ballox to me. I'm all about storage now, adequate GFx, meaty CPU

I have bought Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7 Intel X58 (Socket 1366) DDR3 Motherboard for 270 Euros. A very powerful motherboard which supports also USB 3.0.I am very satisfy with it. I absolutely recommend it to everyone.

I am a big fan of Gigabyte products.

Hi, I basically own the same rig as two years ago, only with an upgrade or two. I share the same opinion about buying an new motherboard, i usually chose the best board without the bells and whistles, that gamer oriented products have. My motherboard is an Asus M3A78 (around 70-80 EUR at that time), i upgraded the cpu to an Phenom 2 925 about an year ago, from an older X2 , 6GB DDR2 800, a Leadtek Nvidia 9600GT, a Promise Tx2650 SAS/SATA RAID controller and a RAID 0 configuration of two SAS 74GB/10000rpm seagate drives, also two WD 6400 AAKS (640GB Blue), an Bluestorm 2 550W PS and an Antec Three Hundred as a case. Also thanks AMD for having a longlife platform, that can be upgraded more easily.

75$ for my Gigabyte board. My only complaint is that if I try and use a PCIe x16 and a x1 video card at the same time, the x16 card will not start. Not an issue though, until I get windows 7.
