Water build phase two when things go wrong.....

[EvilSponge]

Hello all,

Well my water build was going great had everything put together everything wire managed then boom. My beloved Abit IP35-E did not make the transplant. I swapped in a spare board I had and everything powers up. So what I'm looking for is suggestions for a replacement clockable value mother board like my old Abit. Please no $200 boards want to keep it at $100 or less

Thanks,

p35/p45 ds3l, both for around $100, the p35 being cheaper of course. Or a p5q from asus for around $100.

Thanks for the advise Marc I'm looking at the Asus P5k pro p35 as a strong contender

Well after some research I decided on the Asus P5K pro now lets see what it can do. Got sucked in by the crossfire option

Hey Aigo,

LOL you killed your as well? Are they weak for some reason? Not all of us can afford DFI LAN Party 😛 To be honest I beat on it pretty badly and then moved it from different chassis three or four times. I mean I got it for $76.00 after rebate so can't complain too much. I was hoping it would carry me through till Nelheim or whatever its called. The rub is I had my Lian-Li set up perfectly then the board dies! I'm going to try out the Asus p5k pro p35 ICH9R the price is right and has a three year warranty and the specs look pretty good crossfire, 8 phase power regulation. Getting back to the ek block thing you mean for me to switch the output and input and see if it cools better right?
