Well for the past six days i been spending my days on Newegg.com and trying to find a new motherboard for my custom build. My last motherboard was a Jetway HA08-LF (Rev 2), and i must admit that it was a pretty good MB for me; Work just fined, had all the features i needed at that time, and a good price. But last week i tried updating the BIOS (I know, i should have left it alone, but i wanted 6 core CPU support ; "You live and you learn.") and now it doesn't boot up (No video, No post), i did have this MB for a little more than a year. So now I find out that Jetway as a company sucks, I been emailing tech support for 6 days now and no reply. So i just decide to buy a new MB.
My Specs before i move on
Memory: OCZ Reaper HPC 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Dual Channel
Power Supply: hec HP585D R585W ATX12V Power Supply
Motherboard: [strike]JetWay JHA08-LF AM3 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX[/strike]
CPU: AMD Phenom II X3 710 2.6GHz Socket AM3 95W
Graphics Card: HIS Radeon HD 4850 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16
Case: CoolMaster Storm Scout
I narrow it down to two choices:
ASRock 890FX DELUXE3 AM3
GIGABYTE GA-880GA-UD3H AM3
The ASrock seems to have a some more cool features than the GIGABYTE, but the GIGABYTE has that sweet feature of DualBios.
I'm having trouble choosing, so I like to know which one you think is better, which company has the more reliable hardware, which company you think has the better Tech Support/Help desk, or even another board in the price range of $100-200.
I would be very thankfull.
