Would AMD Athlon Dual Core Processors Work With XFX Nvidia 680i?

[TricksterMatt]

I was wandering would AMD athlon dual core processors work with the XFX Nvidia 680i? Im looking for a good cheap motherboard that would work really well with the 8800 GT Alpha Dog XXX edition... I was gonna get the XFX nForce 8200 motherboard, but I think its crap... What do you guys recommend?

Edit

Is this a good motherboard would you guys think? http://www.eclipsecomputers.com/product.aspx?code=MBM-K9A2CFF

680i is an intel board, so no.

Its a good board. I have a buddy that runs its with a new Deneb with no issues. Not the best over clocker, but a stable board.

 

[TricksterMatt]

Never mind, I found a good board i want ... Tell me what you guys think of the XFX 750a Sli Motherboard... Is that good for clocking and stuff?

 

[blkhogan]

this one? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813141010&Tpk=XFX%20750a

 

[TricksterMatt]

Yeah, is it any good for the 8800 gt alpha dog?

 

[blkhogan]

Should be no problem running your alpha dog. It supports up to 95w cpu's, so make sure yours is such.

 

[TricksterMatt]

it doesnt say, its the AMD Athlon 64 6000+ 3.0 GHz one... Will it support that?

 

[blkhogan]

http://www.xfxforce.com/en-us/products/motherboards/7series/~/ecms.aspx/XFXCPUCompatibilityList-AMD.pdf
On the site it has 125w listed, but no support

 

[TricksterMatt]

So will it be able to run it? :S

 

[blkhogan]

No support for 125 or 140w.

 

[TricksterMatt]

Noooooooooooooooooo ... That means I have to buy a crappier processor then "sigh"

 

[blkhogan]

This is the board that I run. I love it, good oc abilities.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138128

 

[TricksterMatt]

Wait wtf... How is this guy running AMD Athlon 64 6000+ on the 750a then? :S... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BwYMNKNyV4

 

[blkhogan]

There might be a BIOS update out there somewhere.

 

[blkhogan]

Get yourself one of these. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103300

 

[TricksterMatt]

I might, but hey wtf is this? A bundle look... XFX nForce 750a + AMD Athlon 64 6000+ 3.0 GHz? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4387063&csid=_22

WTF? If it cant run it then why they selling a bundle of it?

Like I said there is probably a BIOS update to be able to run 125w cpu's

[TricksterMatt]

[cdawall]

the 7750 X2 is a better cpu and faster even though it s only 2.7ghz

 

[TricksterMatt]

Is it better for gaming and stuff then?

 

[cdawall]

yes the faster bus speed and L3 cache give it an advantage over the older Brisbane and Windsor chips

 

[TricksterMatt]

is there any difference between the original version and the black version? and is this the same exact one btw? Im from UK btw http://www.overclock.co.uk/product/...lack-Edition-Dual-Core-AM2+,-Retail_8434.html

there is only a black edition of that chip and it adds an unlocked cpu multiplier for better overclocking.


and this mobo gets my vote
