| Post subject: | Reccomend new atx motherboard |
Greetings: Perhaps I need a recommendation for a new motherboard. I have been using a Dragon 1+ system. I just upgraded the system to LINHES 6. 03, and was playing around with vimeo streams, when all of a sudden it looked like a quick forced shut down happened. The power supply seems okay, that is, it has plus and -12 Volts, three and 5 V too. I removed all the PCI cards the CPU and RAM, essentially everything, and the case switch, which works, still cannot power up the motherboard. The fact that it appeared like a forced shutdown makes me wonder if something failed or overheated. Anyway, can anyone recommend a replacement motherboard for the ATX k8n ne04 MSI motherboard? The current board is four years old, and could use more power for flash videos. Well thanks a lot for your suggestions. |

I too am searching for a new ats mobo. I'm using a decent ECS mobo but I want to upgrade to a gpu with vdpau capabilities. Unfortunately I only have AGP and I'd pay about $70 for a card with this ability. I'd rather pay $200 for a combo deal with onboard nvidia and have more fun. |

In January I put together a dual core system and it has worked well. Details are documented here: http://knoppmyth.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=20686 Version 6.02 has the video drivers for this motherboard. I would go with a Tier 1 Mobo. |

I went with: Intel i3-530 GIGABYTE GA-H55M-USB3 LGA 1156 Intel H55 HDMI USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard The i3-530 has on chip intel hd graphics, so I will be able to get rid of the Nvidia 6200 card. Silent pc review measured 25-30 watts dc (from the psu) at idle for the board and cpu. So far I like it. It has enough power to be recording a show, flagging commercials, updating the data base, and playing back Hulu Desktop perfectly. Hulu Destop takes about 140% cpu right there, its a hog. My old system would stutter, freeze, etc. It didn't have enough power to even flag commercials, and watch HD. I just used the same disk, and to get it to boot used the fallback system. I will switch over to Intel HD graphics and loose the 6200, as the cpu graphics takes less power. |

@luxluthor Please consider posting your experience (the how and why of the decision) in either Tier 1 or Tier 2 Hardware Recommendations: http://knoppmyth.net/phpBB2/index.php?c=5 |

Thanks. |

I'm very happy with my system. Specs and review at that link to the Tier 1 forum. |

"the fallback system" For booting up, there seem to be 2 profiles; I guess one is optimized for specific hardware, the other is more universal. One worked, one didn't when I changed hardware. |
