Motherboard Help.

Does anyone know of a good cheap 939-sli motherboard? Wanting to upgrade my old comp with a new graphics card.

Still a good system so that’s all it needs 939 sli board and card

Main reason for doing this, the 6800 ultra I had in the computer is buggered, would now be the 6th replacement and so decided enough is enough.

It’s a BFG so has life time warrantee, asked if I can upgrade the card and they have agreed.

I realise you stated cheap but there's very little point of having some nice components and then letting the system down by using a cheap mobo. Can't really get a better S939 Mobo than the the DFI.

cheap as in £80-90 not like 5 pounds like, ill have a look cheers griff.

Just over the £100 mark.

whats b grade?

Normally fully working but missing a few cables, accessories and/or manuals.

 

[Aberclio182]

because i can get it for £50, don't really need the cables

 

[Griff]

I say normally because the term "B grade" varies from retailer to retailer.

Best to double check what their interpretation is mate.

 

[Aberclio182]

says repaired, sack that lol

 

[Aberclio182]

griff is this one any good? DFI LanParty UT NF4 Ultra-D about 40-50 cheaper

 

[Griff]

Fantastic mobo mate but it's not SLI.

 

[Aberclio182]

aright ok, would it run a 7950 gx2?

 

[Aberclio182]

suppose i could go the ati route, whats the sli for them? lol never had an ati card or read much about them

 

[Griff]

Crossfire is the ATi alternative to SLI.

Yes the Ultra-D would run a GX2.

 

[Aberclio182]

what way would you go ati or nvidia, barring in mind i already have a 7950 gx2 in my new bulid. lol

never going to sli in this comp anyway so a 56 board compared to a 106 board for sli can't justify it.

 

[Griff]

Me? Nvidia all day long but that's just my personal preferance.

 

[Aberclio182]

order, cheers Griff for all your help

 

[Griff]

Anytime mate. If you want any help with it when it arrives (perhaps you may want to overclock the cpu etc) let me know as I've used the DFI nF4 mobo's alot over the last 12 months.
