what was your favorite motherboard ever?

pantherx12 · Aug 13, 2010

Favourite AMD board ( although I only had it for a short while)
M4A79TX Deluxe DDR3 mobo

Favourite Intel board is of course my current and longest lasting board
Asus P5Q3, have one of the few ones that arnt completely shit!

Mine a little worse for wear now, no heatpipe <_<

Picture just before I ruined the northbridge temps XD

Notice my extra mosfet cooling, that + using 8 pin mobo connector = very nice over-clocking potential

MohawkAngel · Aug 13, 2010

Why are you saying you ruined the temps ?

Carlitos714 · Aug 13, 2010

EVGA 750i FTW

I have the same one. Using it in my Unraid server. Overkill for that, but is is a great board. doubt I will ever have to worry about my server dying. lol

my favorite mobo has to be the DFI bloodIron P35, that mobo is a freaking devil.... (over 500FSB)

Divide Overflow · Aug 14, 2010

I'm going to go with my old Abit BF6. Certainly not the fastest, nor with the most features ever, but it was fun to tweak those sub GHz slot processors. I spent many happy hours with it.

and it wont! the only reason i got rid of mine was to get the 780i FTW, then moved to an x58 evga board!

Wait.. it comes with free processors? Suddenly it's a steal!

spicydeath82 · Aug 29, 2010

Mine was an E860(no clue who made it), it had a pentium 3 slocket running at 755 MHZ but through dip switches and bios settings i had it up at the 1Ghz range(wasn't stable by any means but it's still crazy), it had three ram slots, had like 586 mb of ram(weird number but the bios had issues) it ran the elderscrolls 3 surprisingly well on my old Nvidia geforce mx400 agp card. to bad the board died. i had it for awhile, the guy who had it before me had spilled soda on it. i was surprised it lasted as long as it did. i was like it's 5th owner.... lol
