Motherboard for E4300

[horaciocs]

I need a motherboard that can stand high fsbs ( abit higher than 500) stable. I've thought about DS3, but some peoples' reports seem quite disapointing (random revisions and some stability issues).
I'm siticking to <$160

Thanks,


Horacio

Actually I'm going to lower it's multi to 8x or 7x and then see what I can do with the fsb, but I would like to have some overhead just for the sake of stability

Now about the stabiliy issues, they concerned any cpu, the problem was having the board stand higher fsbs. I guess it had to do with earlier revisions of the board.

i recommend putting down an extra $15 on your budget and getting the bad axe 2

$175, and the e4300 has a high multiplier which is perfect for this board. not sure about compatibility though and shit like that so you should check with someone else. but if everything checks out, this is the best mobo for your processor and you didnt even have to settle for less or waste much more money
