[mjwhelan]

Hi guys im looking for a motherboard for a 8320 but can find any thing less than £90 that can handle the cpu at 125w!

I want to do a bit of overclocking in the future but all reviews say most board can handle it!

Please recoomend an affordable board thanks!

U are better to go off with 9xx chipset mobo, older chipset may not works out of the box...

and updated bios may not work so great.... (my board broke the O.C. capability with the new bios... )

Someone use this MB to OC FX-6100 to 4.0 Ghz, here is the link. http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/overlock-on-asus-m5a97-r2-0-tips-anyone.185781/
The MB has two PCIe slot for CF, but they are x16/x4, which is about <10% performance compared with X8/X8, here is the review.
