939 AMD X2 3800+

[teatime0315]

so heres the thing... i have some crap mobo combo from frys... It happens to be an ECS... i get a lot of "Oh ECS is ******" and i read a couple of reviews too.... well i think it would be best if i upgrade it to the a good 939 socket mobo ... preferably one without a northbrdige fan ... TIA

The last combo deals Fry's had on the 3800+ X with the ESC board were AM2. I'm surprised they still had the 939. Try the Biostar Tforce boards. reasonable price, nice quality too, but no fans.

Probably the best 939 board ever made: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813136152

Most supported too. Check out www.dfi-street.com for some wonderful help and info.

You can mod this board to Sli very easily if want you.

Beware this is a twaekers board. The bios options can be intimidating, but there is alot of info available for setting it up. A high quality psu is required, >480 watts.

The board is built for high power so it uses beefy electronics, the bios has some great features.
