Motherboard for athlon64 socket 939

[MSFTer]

For some reason, I can't find any detailed information.

My preference for a socket 939 nforce 4 ultra or sli motherboard:
1. solid state capacitors
2. fanless design - either heatpiped or fanless heatsink design

Thanks for any info!!

ABIT Fatal1ty AN9 32X Motherboard = a socket 939 nforce 4 ultra or sli motherboard:
1. solid state capacitors
2. fanless design - either heatpiped or fanless heatsink design

slim pickings on the AMD side of the ledger - solid state caps seems to be not uncommon on the Intel Core duo side of things

abit an9 is an am2 socket mobo.

for socket 939, there is no mobo with all solid capacitors.

you do have asus a8n that have a mixture of electrolytic and solid caps.

my bad - the ABit is an AM2 board

socket 939, DFI Venus comes to mind - good luck finding one - & I seem to recall Tyan had a socket 939 solid state caps board at one time, tho it may have been socket 940

OP,
Register, then look and ask over at http://www.badcaps.net/

Polymer caps like the Sanyo OSCON are showing up on more mainboards and graphics cards.

The Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe looks like it has polymer caps around the CPU.

Polymer caps started showing up on Intel boards because of the P4s ridiculous power requirements, they aren't as common on AMD boards due to the Athlons lower power consumption.

They (polymer caps) are nice but I don't know why they should be a requirement. As long as good caps are used electrolytic caps are fine.
