[Animal]

Right as the title says, i need a new mobo as i have to RMA my DFI SLI-DR so im wondering wots the best out there right now..?

Im not running SLI or crossfire so i dont care wot it is although i do have an X1800XL right now, but i do like the nvidia chipset.

Well anyway wot is there..?

Is there anything else you need?

RAID for instance?

Full voltage overclocking? Or is a 1.55v/1.65v Vcore okay ( 1.55v for dual core and 1.65v for single core)

Are you running BH5 or other high voltage RAM?

Boards I like right now:

The one you had

The SLI-D (non RAID same as what you had)

ASUS NF4 boards

Most boards now are SLI/Xfire that have features that suit the enthusiast.

I am also liking the the ULI M1697 boards, although EPOX is the best one and wont be out for another 3 weeks.

Well thats a good point m8 that i forgot.

I do need raid, i would also like a board that is SATA II compliant.

As for vcore and mem volts i need a board that can output 1.6 preff and for mem well 2.9 is fine as im using tccd

1.6v for single or dual core mate?

Reason I ask is that ASUS board will not feed more than 1.55v (something to do with AMD saying thats the most you should put through em) into a dual core CPU but will got to 1.65v for single core

New Asus r580 looks good according to reviews... waiting for other ati chipset based board reviews tho!

What about the DFI board? That should be coming out in a week or two according to anandtech, looks pretty good.

Vcore on the Asus could probably be solved with a simple mod as well.
