http://forum.lowyat.net/ Wed, 01 Jul 2026 22:22:42 +0800 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/800594 Am planning to build a decent PC based on Phenom + NForce cos Core 2 Quad too expensive for me.<br /><br />Why wouldn&#39;t I choose an AMD790FX or AMD770? Because of performance difference compare to an NForce 750a (dunno about the new SB700/SB750 southbridge though). nForce 780a? too expensive. The integrated graphic is quite intriguing too, because planning to buy a dedicated single graphics card (GTX280) at a later time. SLI is quite a mix bag for me, as I like to keep my options open...<br /><br />I would like to pair it with a Phenom X4 9950 Black Edition (TDP 140W). Originally the board does not support this processor, but a really recent BIOS update made an official support for this processor. But from the ASUS forum they still have quirks with Phenom X4 9950, but not sure whether it is the Black Edition or not.<br /><br />What about the overclocking ability for a Phenom based system? Appreciate feedbacks from anyone who owns this board cos really cant find the review particularly for this board. Only found XFX 750a SLI, and it looks promising. But I am really interested in ASUS board because of their Solid Caps and usually have many enthusiast features than an XFX board.<br /><br />Or do they sell M3N72-D here?<br /><br />Edit:<br />Oh i think I screw up. It should be in hardware questions &amp; answer? please move this topic to that thread <!--emo&:respect:--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/notworthy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='notworthy.gif' /><!--endemo--> DECseven Hardware Thu, 25 Sep 2008 00:18:48 +0800
