I need some advice: I want to build a low-noise P4 system, and I
don't have any idea of which motherboard to get.
Is there any site that has a list of recommended motherboards?
The features I need are:
- AGP slot
- IDE interface only, no SCSI or SATA
- I need to be able to program the voltage of fans. In another motherboard
(no longer made) I have, I can program e.g. 6V until the CPU is at 50C,
then 10V. This both for chassis fan, and for CPU fan.
- Don't care about sound.
- FSB? No idea, anything at least 400 MHz is fine.
- USB 2.0
- At least one serial port
- 10/100 Ethernet, better if it could do also 1GB.
- Mainstream, easy available, super-reliable.
I seem to be looking for such a generic thing, aside from the fan voltage
requirement, that I am overwhelmed, and I don't know where to start looking.
The fan regulation enables me to have a very quiet PC until it heats
up due to heavy load.
I would be very grateful for any suggestions!
