Hi,
I'm looking to build a Phenom 2 : 955 oriented system. However I am having a lot of trouble finding a motherboard that is reliable and will work with the processor out of the box. Reading reviews it seems a lot of the boards WILL NOT work with the 955 out of the box but only after a bios update. Not having another chip to put into the motherboard, would leave me with useless equipment since I wont have a way to update the bios.
So, I am looking for a RELIABLE motherboard that will work with the Phenom 2 955 out of the box without having to update the BIOS (since I wont be able to do that). I would prefer something that uses DDR3. So far, looking on Newegg, I havent found such a contender. It seems people are having trouble with every major manufacturer...
If anyone has a suggestion, preferably on personal experience, I would be VERY grateful.
Thanks for reading...
