My DfI motherboard has stopped working, what 939 motherboards are good at overclocking?

If possible im looking for Dolby Digital live Audio,and quiet northbridge cooler. Don't mind whether i go for Nvidia or Ati chipsets, as crossfire/sli is not going to be used. Also Im looking at spending as little as possible, maybe up to £80-90 for an excellent board.

Not looking for another DFi, as I have lost faith in their warranty.

Any suggestions?
 
Hmm, well I remember a friend asking me if I had read about a new board with DD live and I did find a review but can't remember for the life of me what site or what board it was, so chances are it might not even be a 939 board.

Being as you stated your not keen of DFI warranty, then that kind of throws Epox out of the window as I heard their after market support is quite bad.

For silence, the Asus nforce4 boards with passive heatpipe cooler could be ideal?

Maybe the Asus A8R32 MVP which has a big thread about it, although im pretty sure there are some unhappy users in there when I skimmed through it last.

I'll hunt around and see if my mate is on msn to see if I cna hunt down that motherboard with DD live, the only other option is to buy a X-Mystique or X-Plosion PCI sound card, or Turtle Beach for that matter. However at 60+ for these kind of cards that does add to the bill some what.

What was wrong with DFI if I may ask? I've always had good support off them but never had to return anything.

Their R580 board is not long from sale now I would have thought and it's looking to be a good board and most ATi chipsets are passive cooled being as the chipset only uses something like 8w of power from a review I read.
