hi all, i want to find a good quality 970chipset mobo for an FX-6300 which i have already, i was looking at this http://www.amazon.co.uk/ASRock-970-EXTREME3-Extreme3-Motherboard/dp/B005POPRG8/ref=sr_1_10?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1361023101&sr=1-10 and want to know if its worth it, thanks
Well, the best really depends on what your needs are. If you are an overclocker, you might want to consider the Gigabyte 970A-UD3 due to its 8+2 phase power design and beefier VRM cooling
But anyway, the ASRock Extreme 3 is pretty solid.
i would like to do a bit of OC but nothing major
You should take a look at ASUS M5A97 EVO R2.0.After a lot of research i have finally purchased this motherboard for my new FX-6300.
thats a nice board, but the extreme 3 is £20 pounds cheaper atm, think il go with that, thanks anyway
Well, the ASRock Extreme 3 can do a bit of OC no problem. Double check the I/O, and if it has everything you need, go for it.
Asus M5A97 evo R2.0 all the way
