Best ddr2 MB for Phenom II x 4 965 black edition

silversmithy · Mar 13, 2017

Looking for the best MB for the 965 black edition. I am building this as a low cost rig (back up) so need to keep it ddr2 so I can use the mem I currently have. There are some MB's out there that people claim work, but I know this pup uses a log of juice. Also would prefer a full size ATX not a micro, etc so it will fit properly in my really old chieftec dragon full atx case. Thanks

I tried PCpartpicker but when I add DDR2 to the filter there are no choices. Are you sure DDR2 is supported for AM3?

I think I recall some dual DDR2/DDR3 boards but they might only be USED now.

I found THIS (and checked the CPU Support list): http://pcpartpicker.com/product/Tsw323/asrock-motherboard-970extreme3r20

You'd need DDR3 memory. It's about $25+ for 1x4GB or $40+ for 1x8GB.

Okay, thank you. I am pretty sure that there are some that support ddr2 but could be wrong. I figure I would have to go for a used board either way due to cost.

After considering I guess I might as well spend a bit more and go ddr3. I would like to go full atx for better fit in my really old chieftec dragon full sized case. I have an old m2n-e in the case now and also have 4 case fans with 3 pin connection. Would like to get advice on a good but lower price mb that would fit this description. Thanks again
