Suggest intel motherboard

Hi all!
I want a basic original intel mobo to go with the E5300. It should have a pci e 16x slot.
So please give suggestions with prices.

gigabyte g31m es2l 2450/-

Hey, have you ever think about Ausus or something else(such as suggested by Srirama above)......... They are good for overclocking and other stuffs.......... Intel may have some limitations.........!!! So do think about it..... My suggestion: Agree with srirama..... It's a best VFM MOBO......... Don't look further.....

Well the reason that I am going for intel from past experiences the intel motherboards last longer and give fewer problems. Also I am not into overclocking. As the pc will be used for general purpose like movies, music, browsing etc and will not be buying a new one for the next 3 yrs
so please suggest what I need

go for intel dg41rq mobo or any dg41 series from intel. I think the RQ model is the entry level in dg41 series. I think it will be ok for your needs...

it costs around 2.8k

there you go
ur requirements at 3000 INR
(sad overclocking not possible)



if you are not looking for overclocking and a little extra amount for the chipset
then intel mobos are just for u

i agree that thought intel mobos has few features as compared to others,also i would like to mention the A.S.S service is too good of intel..

Intel boards are OEM's so over clocking and such things can't be done. Get the gigabyte energy saver g31 like someone above me mentioned. It's a very basic board and small. Looks like sh!t though. Intel original boards are mostly big and green in color but lack tweaking needs.

I think the OP has already got his answer and should look no further..Since he is not keen to OC i dont see any reason why the rest of the boards are recommended since Intel quality is good and so is their service.
