Best Micro ATX motherboard

Ka0ticMind · 28 Apr 2006 at 09:57

Hi Guys...just been looking for a new case, and noticed the silverstone sugo SG01, looks a little beauty....what would be the best micro atx board to purchase? The Asus A8N-VM CSM Micro ATX looks ok, i want to build a fast small gaming system... based around an athlon x2 4600 dual core cpu and nvidia 7900 gtx graphics card.... also would i be able to use a double slot card in such a system?

Appreciate any input.

Kind Regards Nat

I'm not normally a fan of FoxConn kit, but built a couple of machines around the 6150K8MA-8EKRS, and they have been excellent

dfi rs infity for overclocking

have one of these myself but the only trouble i have had is using the other 2 external fan headers what ever fans i put on em casefan or antec psu i just cant seem to slow em down

i have even installed a fan controller which doesnt even slow the fan down

Hi...was just looking at the infinity, going to see if i can find a few reviews, what cooler would you suggest?

Hi thanks for all the replies ....ok narrowed it down to either the MSI K8NGM2-FID or the foxconn 6150K8MA-8EKRS, which would be the best board out of those two? not bothered about onboard graphics or sound as will be using a nvidia 7900 gt ( or gtx if i can stretch to one ) and mystique 7.1 sound card.... after a board thats nice and stable and won't crash out whilst gaming.

Thanks again in advance.
