Motherboard with MAXIMUM OC Potential

VeDz · Jan 10, 2008, 08:15 PM

I am looking to buy one, under $150 from this site.
http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?minorcatid=107

Can anyone reccomend me one which has the maximum OCing CPU potential?

Thanks in advance.

choppy · Jan 10, 2008, 08:30 PM

intel or amd?
budget?

come on man be a bit more specific! but frm here looks like your after anything thats lablled X38

VeDz · Jan 10, 2008, 08:52 PM

intel :P sorry about that. oh and under $150 would be awesome!

It should be a good clocker.

VeDz · Jan 10, 2008, 08:57 PM

I heard the DFI ones are better at OCing? than the gigabytes?

like this one? http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...anufacture=DFI

Idk if it's alot better, but it is very good. Both motherboards are very good, and I think the DFI has better overclocking, but once again the gigabyte isn't that far behind. If you want straight up clocking, get the DFI.

trog100 · Jan 10, 2008, 11:10 PM

well.. u dont need a super clocking mobo if u buy a sensible cpu.. the set up i recommended in your other thread will run 3.35 gig all day and everyday..

buy a silly (too cheap) cpu with a low multiplier and u do..

now if anybody thinks they can better 3.35 gig 24/7 with any budget amd system.. be my guest..

with a 3870 card.. 11.000 in 2006 and 18000 in 2005.. and exactly the same crysis framerates as i get with my current intel system..

give good advice and it gets ignored.. by do i bother.. buggered if i know.. he he he

trog

DFI has a much more tweakable bios. IF you know what you are doing, DFI is the best. Gigabyte is more user friendly, and slightly more stable.

VeDz · Jan 11, 2008, 01:54 PM

awesome got my answer, thanks!

[I.R.A]_FBi · Jan 11, 2008, 01:59 PM

take trogs advice ...

JrRacinFan · Jan 11, 2008, 02:10 PM

You get a thanks from me Paulie. I was just about to post that while upon reading the thread.

sneekypeet · Jan 11, 2008, 02:34 PM

A big +1 on the BLOOD IRON!!!!!!This is done on stock voltage aside from RAM requirements and of course CPU volts as needed, the mobo itself needs no voltage to accomidate these settings!

ZenZimZaliben · Jan 11, 2008, 02:41 PM

Dfi Ftw!!!

VeDz · Jan 11, 2008, 07:42 PM

Does the DFI T2R support the upcoming 45 nm?

ZenZimZaliben · Jan 11, 2008, 07:52 PM

Yes it does...which is one of the reasons I went with it.

VeDz · Jan 12, 2008, 05:58 AM

flipping awesome. I will be going with the P35 T2RL blooad iron!

Thanks guys.

Laurijan · Jan 12, 2008, 09:43 AM

If i had a dual core cpu i would go for the dfi bloodiron which as a p35 chipset but since i got a quad-core cpu i was advised to buy a x38 chipset based mobo - the gigabyte ga-x38-ds5

philbrown23 · Jan 12, 2008, 12:40 PM

or

http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...anufacture=DFI

one of those would be my choice

Are you using stock cooling on the NB? Cos that lil' heatsink looks a bit too small to cool it at those speeds?

JrRacinFan · Jan 12, 2008, 02:32 PM

I can vouch, those are stock heatsinks. The DFI BloodIron is just a nice little board.

VeDz · Jan 12, 2008, 02:54 PM

Does the P35 T2RL support Xeons? example X3220?
