See my signature. The 890 board from Gigabyte is a good choice, user friendly and easy to install setup and configure. Approx £110.

I have my ram running at 6.66x FSB (250) = 1666. To go beyond this you need to increase FSB as the multipliers are 4x, 5.33x, 6.66x and 8x

(edit I originally had 8 x 200 = 1600 I have changed the FSB to 250 to get my OC of 13.5 x 250)

No problems running at 1600mhz on my Crosshair IV, where did you hear about that from ?

Hey Ghost_Rain,

Just pick a mobo with the features you need, try and keep the budget at approx £100 or below . . .

AMD AM3 (700 Chipset)

AMD AM3 (800 Chipset)

This is about the most you would need to spend to get a fully feature packed AM3 mobo . .

Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H

£104.99 inc
