Best Amd Athlon 64 X2 mother board

galwaydude18

As the title says what is the very best and most overclockable mother board for an Amd Athlon 64 X2? I am going building a dual core rig very soon! I will buying everything bit by bit! I already have a deal going with Jammer for the case! Hope to have it by the close of the week.

Anyhow I would like to hear what is the mother board for an Amd Athlon 64
X2 because I will need to save up for it! Any recommendations on what would be the best setup for a danger den water cooling setup as well? I need to start getting prices for all this and start saving and buying bit by bit up to the new year!

Thanks in advance!:)

Best overclocking mobo is the DFI Lanparty nF4 series. Go for whichever suits you, e.g Ultra D = no SLI, 4 SATA; SLI-D = SLI, 4 SATA; SLI-DR = SLI, 8 SATA

I have a brand new Danger Den Maze4 CPU block and cylinder res that I will sell for cost if you want them - it's a start. I intended to use them on my system which is now broken up and sold off

Have you any links to the danger den stuff your on about? What do you think of the mb? http://cgi.ebay.ie/DFI-LANParty-NF4-SLI-DR-Socket-939-PCI-Express_W0QQitemZ6815953100QQcategoryZ99245QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I'd be looking for >= E60 for them. No tubing inlcuded, 1/2" fittings.

Jammer, I'll let galwaydude18 decide first.
Might even put up a thread on the FS forum if there is interest.

Ya id be interested but it would be at least two weeks until I could pay for it so it's up to you what you want to do wizzard! Any thoughts on the mb I put a link up to?

I hate danger den res. I have one and the bastard took nearly a day to stop leaking.

The Maze4 is a nice block I was impressed with the one I used.

I've got a spare DD dual floppy bay res if anyone wants it. Come to think of it I've a whole cpu, gfx and dual 120mm rad with push pull panaflos lying spare but it's modded into a P160

Haven't used it yet, but the previous one I had never leaked. PM sent with details anyways.

The Epox NF4 boards are excellent overclockers and cheap too.
