Just picked this up the other day for about $50

Rubicon D2/D3 Mobo, 790GX chipset.

Warning, crappy korean music plays from this link

It's mATX, can use DDR2 and DDR3, has Crossfire support, and it looks nice except for the pink RAM slots.

Does it look like a rebadged name brand board or is it just a board sold only in another market?

The one downside so far is that I can't seem to increase the voltage to the CPU past 1.35V. Another thing, since I bought it open box with no accessories besides the backplate, will I need to pick up a switch card? I haven't noticed any change in gaming since switching from my last motherboard though so it seems like that'd be a no.
 
I wouldn't trust these korean brands >.< not with any other products from Korea either so..I wouldn't risk using it with anything, components could be that cheap enough to blow up your stuff :D

Might want to step away from your computer then... likely you have some Korean-made parts in your computer.
 
Yeah, my cheap LG monitor better not explode. I'd be pissed.

Now buying out of box components from shady korean dealers might not be the best idea, but oh well. It's working fine so far.

Yeah, watch out, your Radeon 6850 could blow up, considering it probably uses GDDR5 RAM from Samsung or Hynix. :rolleyes:

It probably won't I have yet to see an LG product blow up. I'm biased as almost every display and appliance I own is LG. Never had any problems.
