I plan on purchasing a Phenom II 965 within a month or two, and would like to know what the best MB would be to support it. I understand this is a 140W processor, so a cheap MB isn't likely to work.
I have not kept up with the newer chip-sets so I don't know what is the best, or if a new one is on the horizon. I would need a MB that has enough power to run this processor, and hopefully enough to Overclock it as well. I do not need more than one PCI-e x16 slot, although I don't mind getting a second one. Also, I would like the chipset cooling to be quiet or passive (I am tired of hearing the loud weerrrrr from my current chipset heatsink fan).
Any ideas?
