well i think my mobo is dead, post here if you have any ideas http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...atid=27&threadid=1570560&enterthread=y

anyway, my rig is as follows:

¥ Athlon 64 2800+
¥ Chaintech vnfs3-250 (fried i believe)
¥ Nvidia Geforce4 Ti4200
¥ Samsung PC2700 512
¥ Zalman CNPS7000B-CU

what is a good mobo to replace the chaintech with? i'm looking for a budget, but effective solution under $70. If anyone reccomends a certaint board and has it for sale, pm me with price (as in im also interested in buying used).

best 754 board out.

got mine for 90 bucks off the forums.

have my 2800+ @ 2.0ghz. i know that's not that great but considering i'm using corsair value ram and not having to use a memory divider:thumbsup:
 
well alot of good individual boards but no one is agreeing on 1-2 good boards. Hmm dfi nf3 sounds interesting.. but it costs $105 off newegg. Budget is a serious concern, unless the dfi is very very special? but i dont know , any other picks?
 
ok so far i got: 1 gigabyte ga-k8vm800m, 1 epox 9nda3+,1msi k8mm-ilsr, 2 dfi nf3 ut250gg (althought slightly off budget), 1 asus k8n-e. can everyone explain the pros cons, and why they chose what they chose?
 
If you're doing socket 939, I'd suggest hte MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum...

At first I had an Asus A8V Deluxe, but I had so many problems with it and its dammn chipset (I may have had a faulty board, etiher way i got furious with it) that I got fed up with it and got the MSI board...

The MSI board is nF3 too...

It won some award here on anandtech on some socket 939 board round up thing too IIRC.
 
oh.... if you're doing 754 then DFI UT250gb (nF3) definitely. My friend has it (I built his computer too), it works wonderfully (he leaves his computer running for days with no problem)...

look no further.

i also recommend DFI for future boards :-D
 
well i havnt really considered it, i ordered it from mwave.com - and isnt RMA within 30 days? i've had the mobo for 3-4 months now.

what is the chaintech warranty policy? they're website is sort of sketchy
 
the only success i had looking for chaintech's warranty is on their site you can request for a "technical submit form" (they dont supply phone numbers or anything). ill see where that takes me. If i do have to buy a new board, then it looks like dfi lanparty 250gb is a really popular pick.
