Opteron mobo with agp?

hartgeh3 · 29 Oct 2006 at 19:22

Hi all

can anyone recommend me a decent mATX 939 mobo with agp slot?
I dont mind a little overclocking too

But will most likely change the XP-120 to something that doesnt get in the way of the AGP slot!

It will be going in a Thermaltake Bach case.

any advice would be great, thanks.

i think the Asus A8V-MX might do the job for u

cpu list
http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/cpusupport.aspx?SLanguage=en-us&model=A8V-MX

doesn't that case also support a standard ATX board?
so you could buy 1 of them as well. another option i guess

actually yes it does, but with a normal size board it gets cramped quite abit.

Will have to search for the A8V-MX as not many etailors selling them. Thank for the info mate.

There's the ASRock 939A8X-M. Not much for overclocking though

Not sure about the specifics, but be careful putting that CPU cooler into that case.

The XP-120 is both a big cooler and a tall cooler (especially with a fan on top).

If you're planning on using it with that case, it might be worth finding out if the case is tall enough.

hi hartgeh3 no the 1 at the bottom of that page is a standard ATX board, ocuk don't sell the ASRock 939A8X-M.

but if you google ASRock 939A8X-M you will find other retails in the uk selling it

please don't add any retailer links to this post they will only be removed

Nope. The one you link to is full ATX, whereas the ASRock 939A8X-M is mATX.
