939 motherboards are phasing out already?

[hypeMarked]

So I need a new 939 motherboard, but the only brands that newegg and other vendors carry now are Foxconn and Jetway. Are they reliable? or there's a store that I didn't know about?

Thanks,

I've used several very good Foxconn boards, they tend to be limited in the OC department but very stable for stock use.

I have no experience with Jetway boards.

Biostar NF4 Ultra-A9A $50
x16 PCI-E graphics slot

MSI K8T Neo2-F $50
AGP 8x graphics slot

Asus A8V-MX $80
AGP 8x (no idea about this vendor)

Also, check eBay, you can often find new/sealed components for very reasonable prices there. Just make sure you pay by credit card at PayPal so you have extra protection in case something goes sour.

I have an asus a8n32-sli deluxe, and highly suggest it if you can find it. I bought mine two years ago. But through two rma's (I work it kinda hard...) I now have a brand-new one!

another good place to look is right here in the anandtech forums in the for sale\trade section. you can still get some good boards from there

939 is EOL however if you look around enough you can find them. I ended up getting a bfg from compusa not so long ago to replace a dead mb in my moms machine.

I liked that board, but it didn't like my SCSI setup.

Switch to MSI K8N Neo4 Plat SLI and it's a decent board.

Hi,

both of these socket 939 boards are listed in Newegg's "server" section. I have the Tyan board, and it is very good.

These boards originally cost $200+, so, at end of life, they are a bargain.

oh wow....i bought my asus a8n32-sli deluxe in march. i didnt know they sold out that fast! i would imagine that they would have some asus/gigabyte socket 939 boards in stock, but i guess not.

Wow, thanks everyone and especially NXIL. I think I will get the Tyan mobo. As for future proofing, how is Foxconn and and Jetway quality incase the Tyan mobo went south? Also, this is the my first time using a Tyan mobo, how's its quality? I heard of it more than Foxconn and Jetway, but that's all.

Tyan warranty: three years:

Asus: also three years.

Tyan has a reputation for making very solid server hardware--not flashy--but reliable.

The major boards from a few years ago have all pretty much vanished. You can probably get some good deals on ebay though. I'll be putting my old DFI SLI-DR up there in a few weeks, once I get some time.

hehehe, i had a client bring in a PC with a 939 CPU on a BTX MB in a BTX Case (obviously).

try finding one of those ANYWHERE. i had to get him a new MB and CPU, no 939 MB available in BTX. only intel seems to make BTX Boards anymore.
