The BioStar has a nice green pcb :) ...but it has active cooling on the chipset. For me a good reason not to pick this mobo. Have no experience with Biostar though.
I would like to upgrade my second rig with an AMD dualcore cpu.
Specs: EPOX EP-9HDAI Pro, VIA K8T800 Pro + VT8237R - AGP (Socket 939)
at the moment an AMD 64 3200 (Venice) is installed.
My question: does anyone have experience with Via's K8T800 and AMD 64 dualcore cpu's?
According to...
Ok, I've made up my mind and ordered 5 TaceNS Aura Ice 120mm fans plus one 80mm to replace the standard AMD cpu cooler.
The black-white contrast of the fans does look quite good on the TJ-09 and at 1200rpm they operate nearly silent.
White LEDs :)
