Asus M3A32MVP Deluxe WiFi.. What CPU?

[edwinhess]

Im looking at buying the Asus M3A32MVP Deluxe WiFi motherboard, befor i saw that board i was thinking about the Crosshair. Ill be running 4gig of OCZ memory. But im not sure what CPU I should get. I know that the Phenoms are still shipping with the bug so maybe a Athlon 64 X2 6400+ Also would like a couple ideas for a power supply. Thanks

If you decide for an AM2 socket (as opposed to Intel's offering that is), I would recommend X2 5000+ BE. You should get at least 3.0Ghz out of it (with overclocking) with stock voltage. It should not only perform similar to 6400+, it also runs a lot cooler.

EDIT: As for PSU, I would recommend Seasonic PSUs. Use the following tools to determine how much wattage you need.

Dude,...phenom,...phenom,...but wait for the B3 stepping to be out! Should be out around march! Overclocking will be allot better and,....let me tell u that mobo,...its just SOLID,..SOLID as a block of GOLD!

As adlertheman said I would wait for the B3 stepping for sure.

and for a psu I would recommend the Corsair HX620 or TX750 I have 2 HX620 and I really do love em they are really silent, and I liked the fact that they have cables modular. So I do,nt have all those unused wires in my case.

The TX750 has 4 8 pin connectors so that would be nice for the future GPU cards like the 3870 X2.

Yo mamma is on the money, I have this board w a 5000+BE I like it very much. The bois will allow you to overclock the CPU with just a click. Mine is oc'ed to 3.12 and I have not spent much time trying to tweak it. I got mine with the idea of getting a Phenom when they get some wrinkles ironed out.

Thanx for all the info, as far as going with intel i was looking at the p5e3 board but im not wannting to pay the ddr3 prices. So I think the M3A32MVP will work out great and sound like ill go with the 5000+BE till the phenom stuff is worked out!! Anyone watercooling this board?
