having to rma a faulty crosshair II this week, which seems to be out of stock :/

which board would you choose from ocuk for around same price thats instock?
£190 to spend, has to be amd to match my phenom 9850, and pref support 1066mhz ddr2 natively
I have a 8800gt but I'm not bothered about using sli so doesn't have to have that.

was reading reviews of the Asus M3N-HT Deluxe, doesn't seem the best and has a fair few bios problems it seems on the asus forums.
Foxconn A79A-s possibly go for this one

Only problem being is i use watercooling which needs the 4holes around the socket to put screws up through for the mount and
Backing plate on that doesn't detach or is glued on... i assume the bolts will screw up through that though or?

dug out my old Foxconn am2 board and the backplate is stuck on tight.. you'd need to take some heat and a screwdriver to the thing to get the back plate off.

Think i'll try get the DFI Lan Party DK 790GX-M2RS as a replacement seems to be getting decent reviews and the asus forums are just filled with complaints about memory/bios problems :/
