Rampge III extreme.
Still got one laying around.
Shit was able to use 3+ TB HDDs back when no other shit was outside of some RAID cards.
Could handle the 6 core big boy xeons and overclclock the shit out of them, etc.

Back when you could take a soldering iron to your board (if you had an older revision) and make a Pentium-II (450mhz max) dual CPU motherboard take Pentium 3 1 GHz CPU's on motherfucking riser cards.

Even the 990FXA GAMING they made was fucking terrible, they put a 6+2 phase VRM on the board, claim it can run a 9590, and charge $140 for it.

I found one of these in the garbage the other day with bent pins. I straightened them and it worked. Although, only on Ram slot works. What is unlikable about them?

Not a motherboard.

I bought one about 13 years ago and thought they couldn't still be that sh*tty or they'd have gone outta business

nope.


not going to do 20 capthas per post

I was memed into buying that board.
It was a literal meme.

Then what is it?

Protip: It's a motherboard.

Attached: s-l1600.jpg (640x480, 47K)

No. It has no slots for expansion boards.
You could claim the GPIO can function as such, due to hats, but it's fundamentally different, rather than being a single bus it's more like a collection of different communication and power lines.

I like that point out major flaws, most people don't. But I'd still consider it a motherboard. However I'd call it sbc, single board computer.

SBC - Single Board Computer

that you*

probably the only one that worked before the pins got bent

I still have my P6T Deluxe V2 laying around crying out for an overclocked X5675.
Upgraded from it to a Rampage 4 Extreme with a 3930k that I think I'll be using for some time to come.
Absolutely gorgeous.

Anyone who posts a single CPU board is a moron.

Oh, good times! Based Rampage Extreme x48. One of the best motherboards I've owned.

>X58 motherboard

Im still using a Sabretooth X58

X58 really was the start of it all.

We even got the EVGA SR-2, as short-lived as dual socket extreme overclocking boards were.

>MSI

fuckers sat on a returned 980Ti for two months before offering check as an RMA card wasn't possible.

was going to buy my threadripper 2 board from them.

Wait until some mad company makes an X399 ITX board.

The god board.

Too bad they never became cheap on ebay.

God I miss being able to easily mount fans onto motherboards with those screw mounds on the north bridge and stuff.

What even makes a good motherboard?

Whelp, I won't be needing these pants any more

I remember a time where one of these and an Athlon XP 1600+ was untouchable by anything Intel.

werks for me, however the top x16 slot's clip fucking broke

I have always wanted one of these two boards. Fuck the fact i need a case and PSU necessary to support them or the fact the damn Skulltrail board only takes FB-DIMMS, I wanted one of them.

The closest we'll ever get to the SR2 these days is Threadripper-based systems as they also have 2 NUMA nodes and a metric fuckton of PCI-E lanes.

This is the one for me.

Just how hot were chipsets back then that they needed a cooper heatsink

This was a mistake, I feel sorry for those who've actually paid money for one.

Rock stable, overclockable as fuck (especially with x86-secret modded bios).

Why is there no such thing as an lga 1155 board with at least 6 sata ports, raid, at least one pci-e 16x gen 3 slot, at least 4 DIMM slots that isn't still 300 dollars in 2018?

If you don't have the big shekels to spend on the expensive ROG ones, X 299 designere ex is a fucking good little board. Good enough that the big companies that build custom computers for $14,000 shekels are using it:

By that definition many laptops with soldered in cpu gpu and ram are also sbc and have no motherboards.

If you don't encounter the keyboard problem, that is.

Bad caps ruined the company.

I agree with you on one half though, ABIT boards were the best otherwise.

I guess mine was a lucky one. An it used to be my main rig for 8 years.

I had a board very much like that with two P3 1.4GHz Tualatin processors.

Oh it was probably actually.

If it was a P3-S CPUs you are one lucky motherfucker.

nice ad hominem user but it's still the best board for not-so-good but still perfectly usable cpu line

>fx
literally the worst, had one choke on fps with a rx560 and a 1080ti

i can't believe how stupid you are

How so?
I mean if you don't overclock there was no reason to get a nf4 lanparty other then if you liked the looks..

But those boards were hands down the best boards for socket 939, I had a Opteron 175 2.2ghz dualcore running 3.2ghz from 2006 to late 2009 on a NF4-D.
Board still works to this day, and still overclocks the same.

best board i have ever owned, god-tier memory support (comparable to good z97 boards) and able to comfortably push fx 8-cores past 5ghz despite being 890fx and not even having official support for piledriver

Attached: 643386_3__8283830-3.jpg (500x500, 83K)

the two boards ive had from asus. the crosshair iv forumla and crosshair vi hero are both pretty good

honestly i hate how companies are trying to make every thing now.

haha i was just given one of these. looks impressive but i dont think ill bother which much oc on it due to ipc limitations

That board was total bullshit. Northbridge was always 90+°C. Sent in mine for replacement after it got fried.

I had a shitty gigabyte mATX one which fried itself within 6 months because you could fry an egg on the north and south bridges. Still got a 990FX going strong though with zero problems so far
