Best AM2 Overclocking Motherboard

[andrewsvalesen]

What is the best Overclocking mobo for AM2 right now?

I heard the DFI was the king of the market, why?
Is it because of the bios options? Last I heard it had the phoenix bios, which is actually common in newer mobos.

I also heard that the Crosshair has the most options, and is very good in overclocking..

I don't know.
I had the Tforce550, which was excellent, but I'm looking for a tiny bit more juice. I've decided to lap my CPU, and my heatsink. I might get better ram..
dunno, already got g skill.

Any thoughts on this?

Not sure about the overclocking, but I think that Asus make the best motherboards.

Sorry I couldn't be much help

The eVGA and Foxconn 590s are both excellent.

The eVGA and Foxconn 590s are both excellent.

for sure...

the only AM2+ board i know is the Biostar Tforce560

I was actually thinking about getting an am2+ motherboard (the tforce one.) but until I heard that It won't have the features of a regular am2+ mobo.
The only thing you can do that is extra, is having a new processor.

which can be nice, i suppose. But what if one of the missing features, somehow cripples the overall power of the processor?
Does anyone know when AM2+ or AM3 processors/ boards are coming out?

Am3 is about 2010 lol but AM2+ processors are staggered to come out through the next 6 months

oh ok..so would it be wise to purchase the am2+ ? And wait.. aren't the phenom processors releasing on nov 16? I thought they were am3... are they am2+ ?

 

[andrewsvalesen]

Ah wait.. just read, phenom are am2+ processors..

interesting..
Should I get that board..
or should I get a cheap board, and upgrade when they release new hardware?

interesting..

any news on upcoming am2+ boards?

ahah.. i should just keep googling this

 

[andrewsvalesen]

I think my solution for now is, that I get a cheap mobo, one that will last me. And After a few months (prob feb. of next year.) I'll switch to phenom, according to the overclockablitity and the reviews..

what do you guys think?
