A8R32 MVP Deluxe
Best stable platform for performance PC builders.
The ASUS A8R32-MVP Deluxe is a high-end Socket 939 motherboard featuring ATI's CrossFire Xpress 3200 chipset, offering substantial PCIe bandwidth with two full 16x slots. It boasts passive cooling for the chipset, an eSATA port, dual gigabit Ethernet, and two S/PDIF outputs. The BIOS provides extensive voltage adjustment options for overclocking, and the fan control offers granular settings for CPU and chassis fans. While the high PCIe bandwidth is primarily beneficial for CrossFire setups, the board's overall efficiency, especially at lower power levels, and its quiet operation make it a compelling choice for noise-conscious builders seeking a stable and well-cooled Socket 939 system.
