I'm thinkin of upgrade my board n procossor...cuz...right nw i'm using a X1950Pro...but my CPU is P4 3.0Ghz...it bottomneck my GC...
So...i'm considering to upgrapde to AMD Athlon X2 5000+ BE....but not sure wat board to use....
pls recommend me an ASUS board...which I'll do a little overclock...mayb from 2.6Ghz to 3.0Ghz~3.2Ghz
my budget is RM800 for both CPU and mobo...
thx...

asus m3a might be a good choice considering it uses the latest 790x chipset and costs rm370 (at pczone). with ur cpu 5000+ BE costs rm 355 (again, pczone), both mobo and cpu costs rm 725.

p/s: 5000+ BE doesn't have hsf......u have to fork out $$ to get 1

M3A is AM2+ bla bla bla and all but it looks ghey man. Sigh.

this m3a is too simple..no heatsink ......can't OC too much

Asus M2N32-SLI - RM595(Tundermatch Price)

Why no heat sink ? If no heat sink on N/B & S/B
You probably can see both ATI 790 chipset there.

Why P35-DS3 "no heatsink" can OC SO much ?

even Biostar TA690G can OC well too. No "heat sink" also.

But this M3A looks too simple......Not nice looks LOL......

yeah. ah...look carefully, that isnt a solid capasitor mobo right ?

this mobo dont have solid caps...

TS, go for asus croshair or m2n32 deluxe...this two mobo is a good nforce590 mobo...

For that price impossible to get solid cap mobo. Well ill take M2N-E anytime. Sexy n with bios update can support Phenom

owh...why dont get Biostar TA690G ? With Japan solid caps.
or Biostar TA770 AM2+

erm....did u OC using ur M2N-E?

ya lu 14475 only compare to other is low...but for me quite high already

My Computer Total up more than RM7.5K

he is using 3800+ F3 proc.the real gem is his proc. yeah, DFI really damn good ocing mobo, and nice looking too.
however, DFI well known for picky mobo. some hardware may not compatible with this mobo...

for ocing, go for Biostar TA690G...
for M2n-e, if u are serious ocer, then have to search for a right RAMs. this mobo need highly ocable Rams with lower Vdimm since the Vdimm limited to 1.95v only..
with this mobo, my 3800+ F2 can hit 2.9ghz stable.

check am2 thread at overclock section see lynian use wat mobo for their am2 proc..

I'm using M2N-E. Very satisfied, but now can't use the mobo cuz the capacitor BENGKOK.

Reason: Probably due to traveling so much with it, and then langgar potholes or sumthing.

I brought AMD X2 5200+ with M3A on Wed, CPU keep on overheating at 110 degree celcius and restarting. Now the shop offer me to change to Intel setup. Just sharing

i think it's ur CPU problem....I'm using M3A currently also. CPU (3800+) remains at around 30 degree when idle and a bit over 40 when load.

But get C2D lar....good mah...better performance...i also want to change...LOL

What the..
Got apply thermal compound? or you dont have install the hsf properly ?
