Well Im wanting a mobo upgrade and the 780G chipset has some good reviews. I had a look and it seems that the Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H 780G
board is the most popular. But I need an ATX for my extra PCI cards. Does anyone know of a good, energy efficient 780G ATX motherboard. I currently have the X2 4850E CPU. I must stress I need an energy efficient motherboard Actually it doesn't even have to be a 780G chipset, I just want a good performer that uses minimal power. I have no plans to OC and Im not much of a gamer at all Last edited by waqasahmed; 18-12-08 at 08:59 PM. |

thats what I went on first. Then I googled it. After my extensive research (in my IT lesson today
) I have found the Asus M3N78 Pro to be best for me- ebuyer is my usual supplier but the motherboard on there seems overpriced. I would have initally got the Asus M3A78 Pro, but found out if I underclocked some stuff on the board, it can be more efficient that the Gigabyte motherboard I talked about above and can perform just the sameEDIT: It was overpriced at 11:00 Guess they must have changed it Last edited by waqasahmed; 19-12-08 at 11:07 PM. |
