In case it gets missed in the other thread, I'm looking for a motherboard to replace my Asus P5N-E SLI
My requirements are quite specific, it needs to be a socket 775 board that can take my Noctua NH-U12F cooler and work well with 4Gb RAM using Vista x64. The cooler is quite big and has a backplate - It will fit many different types of socket but I think I dumped all the mounts I'm not using so a socket 775 is essential. Working with 4Gb (4 x 1Gb, matched dual channel pairs of DDR2 from OCZ) is also essential. Reliability is even more essential as the P5N-E SLI is crap. Overclock ability isn't crucial but would be nice to do it once I've got a nice stable system. I will be rebuilding the OS for the new build so chipset isn't really important to me (how pleased am I that I never activated Vista ![]() This is probably the only time I've regretted not having an OcUK account as being able to search the hardware forums is useful for this sort of thing!
