which is the best amd motherboard

[vikas_r_s]

hi,
could anyone tell me the best sub7k amd motherboard with pcie

 

[asdf1223]

asus a8ne hands down. also check if u can get the ecs-kn1 extreme pretty good.

 

[vikas_r_s]

i need the motherboard for amd64 3000+ (939)

 

[vijay_7287]

if u can spend on GFX card then go for ASUS a8n-e

Asus A8N-E does not have onboard graphics .. its the best under 7k if u plan to buy a separate gpu , if not i think the MSI RS482 is the best with onboard graphics and a stunning price of around 5.5k.

i got a gigabyte ga-k815xxx nforce 430 chipset and nvidia geforce 6100 integrated on it for 5k ...just yesterday

Mobo with onboard grafix : MSI RS 482 IL

Mobo without onboard grafix : ASUS A8N-E

Amongst the 2, ASUS is better in terms of overclocking features....For cost factor, MSI stands better.

Go for ASUS A8N-E, bought it just a few days ago, great performer. Have u bought the procy. if not then go for VENICE core and Revision DH-E6, it has new added instructions, comsumes less power and say bye bye to heating problems. I have an AMD64 3000+ 939 Venice with ASUS A8N-E and the temperature never goes beyond 45C at max load.

He needs a sub 7k mobo dats why nobody is suggesting MSI K8N NE04 PLATINUM / SLI. They are priced over 7k.

If you overclock, or plan to, DFI Lanparty UT nF4 Ultra-D would be the best choice. I am using one myself and it just blows off the competition.

Otherwise, Asus has always been and will be a dependable good performer.

 

[vikas_r_s]

Or should i buy asus a8n e or asus a8n vm

 

[jay4u]

asus a8ne i guess....

Buy a8n-vm if u want onboard video. I think that is the only basic difference betweem a8n-e and a8n-vm. U can always add a pci-e gfx card to a8n-vm when required.

no dude .. ASUS A8N-VM is based on the NVIDIA GeForce6150 Northbridge - NVIDIA nForce 430 MCP Southbridge whereas the ASUS A8N-E does not have a Northbridge. It has a Nvidia Nforce4 Ultra Southbridge. The chipset is totally different and so will be the perfomance. Asus A8n-Vm is just for users who want onboard video with low quality gaming and hardly any overclocking. ASUS A8N-E is far more superior in these areas and when coupled with a good PCI-E graphics card it will leave the A8N-VM miles behind. Guys correct me if I am wrong here.

[vikas_r_s]

how much does that asus a8n e cost?
also suggest me a good pci e graphics card for it.

 

[abhijit_reddevil]

A8N-E costs Rs.5800 here in Kolkata.

Here are your choices for graphics card, they are the best in their categories.

Sub 6k graphics card: XFX Geforce 6600 256MB PCI-ex
Sub 10k graphics card: XFX Geforce 6600GT 128MB PCI-ex
Sub 15k graphics card: XFX 6800GS 256MB PCI-ex
Sub 20k graphics card: Powercolor X800XL 256MB PCI-ex
Sub 30k graphics card: XFX 7800GT 256MB
Over 30k: XFX 7800GTX 256MB
Over 45k: 7800GTX 512MB (not sure which brand here distributes it).

That is what I was trying to tell that, rather going into details of architecture and components and performance, A8N-VM has onboard video where A8N-E doesnot. Sorry if I was not clear.

does asus a8ne have chipset fan problem?
it is said that it is too noisy and dies after 3-4 months
