Crunchers Helping Crunchers

got this board http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1845 ONLY for our fellow crunchers in EU, asking 20€ + shipping

there is no accessories with the board, and no I/O shield, so it should be for a techstation or similiar.

if you live in the US or somewhere else PM me about it and i will figure aout how much the shipping will be.

how high do you wanna oc? is it for crunching, gaming, or what?

It will be a 100% cruncher. What chipset should I be looking for?

(FIH) The Don · Mar 3, 2010

i would prob. do a 3.5ghz with a decent cooler on it, that should not be impossible imo.

dont really know how much voltage it should have though, but since a e8400 can do 4ghz easy with a good cooler then 3.5 should be okay

uhm i know p45, p43 and x48 are good chipsets to oc with, maybe a gigabyte ep43/45, asus p5q or similar

So something like this would be a waist of time? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131369

Yes, the G31 won't handle FSB over 333mhz very well, you might get 3.2ghz, but I'd be surprised if you got much (any) more. If you poke around, you should be able to find a used P35 or P45 board for $65 or so

EWWWW

i believe x38 are also fine, but i would also recommend you an x48 or p45 board... you will have much more fun with it

keep in mind, that the quality of the MC is not dependand on the chip, but on the board, for everything before i7 (and from Intel)

blkhogan · Mar 3, 2010

How about this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138184 Im on a tight budget on this one, till the end of the month.

(FIH) The Don · Mar 3, 2010

well i really dont know biostar as we dont have that brand in denmark, but see some reviews of it, then you have an idea about how it performs

blkhogan · Mar 3, 2010

Ive had very good luck with Biostar and AMD. Intel Im a n00b.

That's a decent mobo, not great, but far better than the Asus you linked (I'm not implying that BIOstar is better than Asus in general, just in this case). Should do 3.5 on an E8400 no problem, although you'll want a fan pointed at the MOSFETs (CPU voltage regulators)

(FIH) The Don · Mar 3, 2010

i'm not saying its bad either, its just that i have no experience with brands like ECS, Biostart and such,

in denmark we mainly have, EVGA, ASUS, ASrock, Gigabyte, MSI for mobo brands

blkhogan · Mar 3, 2010

This one supports DDR2 & DDR3. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138164

(FIH) The Don · Mar 3, 2010

i've worked with this board alot http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128372R

we used them for our 775 gaming systems, mainly because of the incredible stability we experienced with it.

blkhogan · Mar 3, 2010

Just built my new AMD gamer on a gigabyte. I like it.

(FIH) The Don · Mar 3, 2010

gigabyte boards might not always have the looks, but it damn sure is the stability itself imo.

you can always count on gigabyte to deliver what you want(mostly)

Chicken Patty · Mar 3, 2010

Guys,

I don't really mind all this conversation at all, trust me. But Going through 3 or 4 pages to see if somebody requested a sata cable I.E., it's a real pain. But umm, please let's keep this thread slightly on topic please

JrRacinFan · Mar 3, 2010

If anyone has an AM3 cpu they could lend over for testing that would be great. Something that you know that is stable even undervolted when overclocked.

@CP

I pm'd Assassin48.

Chicken Patty · Mar 3, 2010

I'll add you when I get home. Juan had a couple AM3 CPU's a while back, I don't know if he still has them.

JrRacinFan · Mar 3, 2010

To add I am also even willing to trade a 2x1GB 1333 xms3 kit with Xigmatek heatspreaders for a Sempron 140 if needed.

PaulieG · Mar 3, 2010

Does anyone need any kind of cable (SATA, IDE etc.)? What about crossfire adapters? I've got a ton of this kind of stuff around. PM me if you need anything like this. Chances are, I'll have something lying around.

blkhogan · Mar 5, 2010

Im in need of a 775 motherboard, if at all possible support DDR3. If not DDR2 is fine also. Will house an E8200.

Added. keep it up, you've really gotten interested lately and have put up a few rigs so let's keep up the good work :toast:

JrRacinFan · Mar 5, 2010

I think I fixed the issue I was having but I am still not conclusive with it.

@blkhogan

GL with finding the board. If I knew Abit would RMA this AW9D-Max, I'd ship it out to you.

Radical_Edward · Mar 5, 2010

I'm in need of a 40 gig or higher IDE (Or SATA) hard drive for my third cruncher I'm building, anyone have one sitting around that they could spare?

(FIH) The Don · Mar 5, 2010

if no one from the us have one then i got a 80gb barracuda you can get for free
