Thread: Need Help buying Motherboard

I need help for buying New MOtherboard
My old MOtherboard is Intel 102GGC2
Processor is Intel Pentium D 2.8ghz (dual core)
I think this is it Intel® Pentium® D Processor 820 (2M Cache, 2.80 GHz, 800 MHz FSB)with SPEC Code(s)SL88T, SL8CP

-socket 775
-both IDE and SATA connections
RAID support

PLease suggest a good Motherboard with Low Heating and good performance.
If you know the price please mention it too.
I am from India Kerala.

boards from Intel (made by Intel) are good, but some dealers advice against it coz Intel have bad reputation in providing "In Warranty" Replacement.

Better go in for a mobo from Asrock. Good LGA775 boards will cost u about 2.5k, with onboard graphics.

Check with the dealer if u can use a mobo with the p35 chipset.

Verify u can use all ur add on cards with the new mobo.


-thanks,

what processor do you want to use?
can't suggest mobo if you don't say that.
i am guessing you are having overheating issues.thats not bcoz of 102gc board.its bcoz of that smithfield proccy you got.me 2 using a d820 for 4 years now.its very hot.

my processor model ifo is on the first post please check.

yeah but but i thought that you wanted to change the proccy also.
overheating, if your problem, is not coz of the mobo.
overheating is due to that d820 u r using.

if u still want to buy a mobo, u should first check out the local market there coz 1156 and 1366 are all over the market.775 socket mobos are hard to find.whatever u get in the market, post it here and we can compare them.

also tell them that u got a 90nm, 95 W cpu coz the dual core supported boards available which are 775, sometimes do not support a d820.the dual core proccys available 2day(4 those 775 boards) are only 45 nm, 65W, much cooler than our one.

Hope I made myself clear.If in doubt, feel free to ask.

Heating is Due To
1) ur Processor : Weak Processor, it is always Overloaded , Inspite of It being Put on some Work,
2) Crappy MOBO (srry) : It is a Fact, Bad Built Quality,
I Have 3 QUestions:
i) What SMPS u Using ?
ii) What is Ur Budget ?
iii) any Specific Brand Prefs u HAV ?
