Hi, i don't have much experience with picking motherboards so im here to ask for a recommendation so that i don't pick the wrong one. Im looking for something that isnt too expensive and is reliable. I currently have an A8N-SLI Deluxe and the chipset fan died so i've replaced it with a passive chipset heatsink. My friend did the exact same and recently in the hot weather his motherboard melted down. I have a better case than him (Antec P180) which should offer better cooling but i'd still not rather wait for my chipset to melt down before buying a new one.
So i currently have the following components:
AMD 4000+ Socket 939
Dual Channel 2GB RAM (PC3200 i think)
nVidia 6800GT
Audigy 2 ZS
Antec P180 case
SATA1 or 2 HD (not quite sure but i know its SATA)
Basically im looking for a mobo that doesn't cost too much but has all the features of my A8N-SLI Deluxe. I'd like to avoid chipset fans as i can't be bothered to replace another one, like i had to with my current board. Im not too fussed with overclocking as i don't do it. Just need good performance
Thanks in advance!
