Opteron and Mobo Combo?

[justinwb]

Ive decided I want an Opteron 146 for my newest build as it sounds sick and is easily over clocked. So is there any where that has a Mobo combo with the Opteron? I have looked pretty hard and I think its because its meant for a server and not a desktop? If not what kinda Mobo do you think would be ok for under $100(I really want to keep it lower than that but it needs to have pci express slot for my new vid card). Thanks for your guys help!

You're probably not going to find a Motherboard/CPU combo with an opteron, so just get an Epox 9NPA+ Ultra or something like that.

What do you guys think of DFI boards?

The chaintech nf4 might work for you. It's only $80, but chaintech is getting out of the mobo business soon, so warranty might be a problem.

Epox 9NPA+ Ultra. Excelletn OC'ing boardat a very good price.

Second choice would be the MSI Neo4.

if you go to monarch they can assemble and pretest any combination of mobo and opteron they have in stock.

So I am really imbetween a DFI or a Epox 9NPA+ Ultra

I am going to overclock so I am thinking of DFI what would you guys go with?

The DFI Ultra's been a great board for me. I haven't installed my 146 yet. I'm sure the Epox would be a good choice too.

Doesn't the Epox have USB issues?
