Cheap Mobo for OC.

[daniSAUR]

I just got an e5200 chip and i really want a go at overclocking this baby.

Unfortunately I don't really want to spend over £20 on a board and that'd probably be my maximum - maybe a stretch to £30... Maybe.

I'm hoping to get one second hand but I was wondering what board would be best? I've scanned the internet for the past week and a half looking at boards but my brain can't handle all the talk.

I want to build a HTPC from scratch - old case will be cut up etc and I'd like to use both CPU and mobo in it - once overclocked.

Any recommendations please list!

Thanks in advance.

£31, but that's ex vat >.<

If u wannt go HTPC for that budget, the oc options aint terrific, often non-existant (in the form of micro atx that is).

EDIT: Ask maxw if the mobo he has in this thread will do any oc'ing http://forum.overclock3d.net/showthread.php?t=29029

Cheers on the reply.

Yeah, I have been tempted to getting the board he has... Seems to have had good OCing.

I'd either as maxw about the bios or try and find something online, cos the majority of these are geared towards stock oem type builds with little options. That's just the market they're in.
