HI guys

Picked up an Opteron 148 the other day, now I need to know a decent motherboard to put it in :D I have an Epox at the mo and have been really happy with it so would probably stick with them unless someone has a good reason not ot. I am not looking to upgrade everything in my PC aws I tyhink most of it should run ok. Also can you recommend a cooler for it. Ia mrunning on air and can't afford to go to Water cooling or anything, although I do want a quietish solution so don't really want to go for the delta fans! I can post the rest of my specs if you want a better idea of what I'm looking for. Oh also just read that these have the FX core, can anyone confirm or otherwise?

would be interested to know what temps he was hitting with that overclock and what type of cooling he had! as i too have a 148 and it's a tad stubborn to go above 2.95ghz have said that i haven't run above 1.475v through it yet

Any of these boards will be great for overclocking your 148, but if these are out of your price range then the next best mobo's are the epox.
