Hi all, those of you read the forum will(or may) have seen my topic in general hardware on what I think is the death of my mobo.

Well I am in the hunt for a replacement.Overclockers only do 1 ddr2 nforce board the Asus striker
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-260-AS

I have got to get delivery before christmas as I dont want to be without a PC over the holidays.

I have read the reviews on the board and wonder if anyone on the forum still uses this board and how they rate it now.

so folks is it any good?
Does it clock well as I have a q6600 cpu?
how well does it handle an OC with all 4 ram slosts filled (8gb tracer ram waiting)?

Thanks for your time.

I started a thread the other day about best board for my Q6600 G0 and was told boards with Nvidia chipset's don't really go well with Quad core intel proccessors.and they are especially bad overclockers on them....Here is the link http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18091412&highlight=q6600 HOpe this helps....James

Hi Jhlow,

I read the thread, but unfortunatly Im limited in my choice as, I have to 2 gfx cards for SLI forcing me to a nforce chipset and due financial limitations I cant really afford to upgrade my gfx cards/ cpu or ram.

I need a straight swap of the mobo, from the XFX780i board that has died (jury still out but not looking good).

OC only stock one board thats why I asked forum users for their opinions on that board.

Thanks for taking the time to reply anyway.

Hi Chris thanks for the info. Not set on the striker but the only one OCUK does, I might look on the well known auction site l8r, but looking for pre Christmas delivery and my time running out.

1 week before christmas and my PC is as dead as a dodo.

If I didnt have bad luck I would have no luck all.

Thanks Chris, but I went to order the striker and out of stock, LOL it gets worse.

2009 been a bad year for many, next year has to be better.
Still looking on other sites for a mobo.

Any suggestions of good nforce 780i boards would be appreciated. The auction site doesnt have any cheap.

I have a max budget of £200.

Hi Chris and Merry Christmas, I am still looking for a mobo m8, so no gaming for me over Christmas

Yes mate I am interested in the board, they seem to be out of stock or overpriced atm. How do we sort it?
