Default Best 939 mATX mobo

What's the best motherboard out of all these? My criteria for best is:

(In this order)
Decent overclocking with adjustable Vcore and pci locks
Automatic cpu fan speed with adjustable thermal ranges
gigabit lan
pci-X16 slot not first, but rather second (not important at all but it would be cool because my case is cramped on that side due to removable mobo tray)

C'mon... doesn't somebody know of a good one? I could really use the help right now! So far I am looking at this one but I dunno if it's any good! It has voltage options in the bios but I've never heard of foxconn.

Check this webpage
It has some 939 mATX mobo recommendations.

Also check this review about the mobo you mentioned. According to PCStats (last page... Benchmarks: Doom 3 and Conclusion) it seems to be a nice mobo.

Really? I just downloaded the manual and it doesn't even seem to have overclocking options :***: Are they just not documented? How come that would be my best bet?

Also, z_one, I am trying to load that link but it just won't go. Does it work for you? I let it go for about 3 minutes now and it's only loaded the top picture and some text ads.

Just heard good things about it.

Check this out too. http://www.hothardware.com/viewartic...leid=778&cid=3

Keep in mind, there are no mATX boards that can overclock side by side with a full ATX.

I too was faced with the same problem for my new build (see below).

I purchased the ALBATRON KM51-PV. Still awaiting a CPU and HDD as you can see which is just hurting every time I look at the setup..........patience hey.

cheers

Check that gigabyte too. Better chipset, Gbit LAN.

Reviews are scaring me though I REALLY don't want another mobo with problems because I'm already on my 3rd and it has problems so this will be my fourth. Also in one of those reviews up there I decided based on one of the tables that either a gforce 6100 or 6150 northbridge with nforce 430 southbridge is what would work best for my needs as far as features (at least theoretically). I really like the features of the 430 southbridge.
