Help with finding mobo

Tefal · 1 Apr 2010 at 23:27

Hey,

mother board died today (cpl/mofset shorted and it's burnt/melted and completly ****ed) not sure if cpu or anything else is dmged yet and have nothing to test with (aside from hdd and psu).

So need a 755 socket mobo for a q6600 (G0 stepping), 8gb of dual channel ram and a 4870x2. (so needs corssife support i think)

Overclocking is not a massive issue i never really do it.

Can anyone spec me suitible replacement.

Idieally cheap or just some good ones, hoping to get one second hand but not sure which chipset etc to get.

Thanks guys

edit: on ps3 so sorry for typos/spelling

Members Market. Look for an Asus P5Q Pro. Great board tbh

Thanks guys.

hey guys can anyone tell me the difference between the p5q pro and the p5q (http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=BxdaHYTJECBvPJ3k&templete=2) aside from only having 1 pic x16 slot?

Thanks for any help

Baically the pro features a better chipset cooling assembly, also. On the standard p5q board, the 24 pin atx power connector is very badly located, right at the back near the pcie slot, this can make things a bit akward for cable management.
