Default Help choose NF550 mobo
I have a choice of 2 mobos with the nf5 chipset, after checking my wallet for funds it has come down to the Abit KN9-S and the Gigabyte GA M55S-S3.
I am leaning towards the Abit purely because of the stock count in the whole of the UK, the gigabyte has just dissapeared. So can you tell me if the abit will be a better choice?

I did some serious digging to find info on that Abit MB and got nowhere, wish I could help but many 550 series got skiped over in the Reviews segment.

Do all NF5xx chipsets suffer from a low vcore? Like most of the reviews say that the max voltage is 1.4 which is poor.

Im looking into the MSI K9N Ultra and the vcore is 1.4 max and thats on a 570 chip
