Amd black box 5000+ MoBo Question

[maverix]

I am thinking about building a gaming box and OC'ing a Amd black box 5000+. What is a good AM2 mobo with a good feature set for OC'ing? I have read a couple reviews and one was using the Biostar 570? Is this the best choice under $150?
Thanks!

Asus Crosshair?

Asus Crosshair?

I just looked and couldn't find one under $180. Anyother suggestions?
Thanks

I'd get an Asus with the 590 chipset, newegg, ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wireless Edition AM2 NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131011 . Sells for $169, and $7.14 for 3 day shipping. I have the 570 chipset version socket 939 from a previous build. Even if you don't use the wirless still worth getting having the mobo

NVIDIA 590 SLI is the chipset you want if you want the best o/c. ASUS & EVGA have it. Biostar just released a bios update for TForce 550 SE that breaks the x12/13 cpu multiplier limit. So 550 SE is the best budget o/c'er.

Nobody has interest in RD580 based MoBo?

Good call, although I would save the extra bucks and go with the crosshair.
I have two of them and don't regret it.

Asus makes a great board regardless of chipset.

What about a 770? Then you can upgrade to full Phenom support eventually with full 1066 ram support and pcie 2.0?

Seems the ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe is talked about having a lot of sound problems. That would be a deal breaker for me.
