replacement motherboard.

[CorruptHawkeyez]

I had an Asus M2N32 Sli deluxe with wifi that is now dead. The CPU I was using in it was the Phenom ii X4 940 (3.0ghz) with 4 gb of DDR2 memory. For right now, I want to stick with the CPU and type of memory I am using. What motherboard is out there that would be very similar to the M2N32 Sli Deluxe? I like Asus and Gigabyte motherboards.

Just clarify do you mean the built in wi-fi is dead or the whole board ?

 

[CorruptHawkeyez]

Whole board is dead. No post, No beep, with memory removed to test for beep codes.

 

[jamesd1981]

I think you will struggle to find a brand new am2+ motherboard, best bet would be ebay etc.

 

[CorruptHawkeyez]

OK, what model of motherboard is similar to the M2N32 Sli deluxe MB that I have? there is not any M2N32's on ebay right now, so I am having to look for something similar that will work with DDR2 and the phenom processor I have.

 

[jamesd1981]

What area are you from ? no point looking for a board that is far away.

 

[CorruptHawkeyez]

oops, sorry, I'm in the US.

I think you better just buy the new technology. Just buy an am3+ board with ddr3 memory and am3+ processor.

 

[CorruptHawkeyez]

Nevermind, I'll just go research for the board that will fit my criteria.

 

[johnb35]

You will have to look on ebay if you are dead set on it. Am2+ boards are processors are a dead end, they don't make them anymore. Newegg doesn't even have any am2+ boards in stock anymore.

ebay is fine, I was just wondering about brands and model numbers that might fit what I'm looking for.

Here's one I'm looking into: It's not manufacturer refurbished, seller accidentally hit that button. It is used.

That work with your CPU and RAM

 

[jamesd1981]

That board is fine, it supports phenom processors and ddr2 ram.

Will an MSI 770T C45 also work?

 

[jamesd1981]

Yes that motherboard will also work.

 

[CorruptHawkeyez]

Found an MSI 770T C45 on ebay and made the bid. Bidding ended today on it so I was able to stick around til the end. It's mine, so now I just gotta pay for it and wait.

A different mobo may require a new windows key.

It really wouldn't bother me a bit if I had to format and reinstall. OK, it would a little because of all the programs I have installed but oh well. The OS on my HDD is 32bit and I would like to change it to 64bit.

It would certainly be better, but just to clarify, you'd need to purchase a new licence.

yes, I ...ahem...know this.....
