    Need a new mobo after 8KHA+

    My 8KHA+ just died. The chip located closest to the northbridge fan connect blew up. Frankly, I'm just too lazy to solder anothner one of those little buggers on myself (okay, maybe I just really want a new mobo, and this turned out to be a great coincidence).

    I want a board that will make a good a replacment for this one. I need something that will overclock a TBred sky high with my water cooling, and need something that is rock solid. Features are a plus too. It must be under $200, and have the four holes for mounting my waterblock.

    Can the Vcore on the 8K3A+ go higher than the 8KHA+? I know that the DDR333 standard was just finalized, does any board meet these specs?
    P4 2.4C @ 3.44Ghz , 285 FSB -- Asus P4C800-E -- 512 Mb Corsair PC4000 -- Radeon 9800np 445.5/398.3 Vmodded-- 2xRaptors in RAID 0 -- Watercooled CPU, GPU and Northbridge -- Handcrafted Case

    ... And Folding Like No Tomorrow

    Get the 8K3A+ it is rocking the earth with its OCability. And yes voltage options up to 2.3v. Using a Tbred 1.53Ghz and the 8K3A+ someone took the cpu over 2Ghz on the AMD retail cooler

    Ditto, it also has a vmem adjustment up to 3.2v for max stability.

    I'm still saving up to build a new rig... While everyone else has already joined the darkside.
