A shot at super cheap.

Blaize122 · Aug 15, 2009

So I have a shot at some cheap mobo options, but me, being a newbie - can't decide if, firstly, they are worth looking at, and if so, which one I should get.

- MSI P45 PLATINUM
- MSI P7N DIAMOND
- ASUS P5Q PRO

I'm talking less than $20, and assume they are all the same price.

I have 4 x 1GB 1066 OCZ Reaper HPC 5-5-5-15 with a Q6600.

What's gonna give me the best options?

I would take a P5Q PRO

But i dont really know anything about those MSI board ...

The MSI P7N Diamond use Nvidia's 780i chipset, so if you're planning on running multiple Nvidia cards that would be the way to go.

Otherwise I would go for the Asus P5Q Pro, as there are more resources around if you should run into problems with it.

P5Q Pro for sure

uhh, wow! That is a really good deal, I JUST started looking into getting a new mobo and that PQ5 Pro is a beast AND at newegg its worth like $100! Dude, I don't know how you got this opportunity, but if I were you I would buy about 20 of them

and send me one

Hahah, pinkles - I would have bought all three but I don't need them, so I figuered I would let other people looking for a deal have an oppurtunity.

I ended up getting the P5Q pro, although the P7N diamond looked very appealing - I surmised that the P5Q would suit me better because I'm pretty junior to OCing and I know there are plenty of people on this forum with that board- should I run into problems.
