Hey Guys!
I might be getting a new motherboard soon and I would like to know (Since I have not got loads of money to throw around)
What is the cheapest dual x16 PCI-E, 6GBps Sata III, Full-size ATX Board with a 990FX (Or 970FX) Chipset?
Thanks!

Know any trustworthy and cheap buyers from England that sell that board? Amazon's sellers are a bit overpriced.

EDIT^^ (Dam Edit not working again)
Also, is there anything I need to note like will this Biostar support my 4170 out of the box?
Any bugs with the bios/drivers for this board?

 

[NeoReaper]

Bump.

I personally know nothing about Biostar boards, but a quick search found this.

I know nothing either on Biostar until I google'd that board.
At least I know it will overclock good.
I just got to find a good UK price for it because there is a huge price range for this board but I don't want to pick a company that are useless at what they do.

the 990 model should support your chip out-the-box

Yeah, checked Biostars website and this board is supplied with the latest bios 99% of the time.
The only thing about this board is that its hard to find from a reliable source.

 

[NeoReaper]

Still open advice and suggestions.

 

[NeoReaper]

Bump.

 

[ozlay]

i was going to say maybe ASRock 990FX Extreme3 or Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3

 

[NeoReaper]

Well now my options are ASRock Extreme 3 or Biostar TA990FXE. (that Gigabyte board broke my £90 limit)

 

[NeoReaper]

Bump

 

[NeoReaper]

Bump again.

perhaps it would be better for you to decide and then ask us if its a good board to chose because i would love to help you but sadly i don't live in United Kingdom so i wouldnt know of any good places to shop for recommendations for you maybe this

Thats why I was hoping to have some other fellow Englishmen give me a hand here.

GA-970a-UD3 if you can get it.

EDIT: Never mind, missed the part of the dual x16 lanes. The 970a-UD3 has 16 and 4

Try going for a good Gigabyte one, they are good quality and great for gaming! If you're willing to spend a bit more look at the ASUS Formula & Sabertooth models.
