OptikaliLLusion Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 AGP 8x, IDE+SATA, Socket A, DDR support, and the other jazz. I want to know what the best is for OCing a Socket A Athlon Mobile XP 2600. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
upok Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 i am very impressed with the dfi lanparty nfII ultra b that i have. i have had a couple of msi boards(k7n2g, an k7n2-delta) which were also very nice. the msi boards were very stable and so-so oc'ers. the dfi is built to oc. no doubt about it.

ravix Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 Yeah, the 'dfi lanparty nfII ultra b' is a great mobo for overclocking. But if you want a few less frills and a subsatntially lower price, check out the nf7-s. Its great too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptikaliLLusion Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 The DFI looks quite nice... you know if it works the the Thermalright SLR-900? Or do I need to SP-97? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mist Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 just got the infinity and it has problems with ide hd's but otherwise it looks nice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exeter_acres Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 no probs with my lan party... and the SLK works fine..... there is a special backplate (neo) that some use because there are some resistors very close to the mounting holes......

Some_Guy_ Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 I like my DFI NFII Ultra Infinity. The ABit NF7-S is a good board too, just got one for my mom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FxXP Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 (edited) Anything with nForce2 is worth considering. The AGP/PCI lock is an excellent add-on to have if you are going to overclock your hardware components. We can't exactly be brand biased due to the fact that all boards have their glitches. I like what I have seen out of the DFI in the past few months and the NFII Infinity seems to be the top king at this point. MSI is known for pulling fast benchmarks, yet not very overclockable which has always been the case with that brand. EPoX is another fine brand, lots of features. I love the diagnostic LED that they put on their boards since the KT133 days. Gigabyte is nice for the price, a few BIOS bugs here and there, stability is 50/50. Some of their boards last and some don't. Asus seems to be having QC issues over the past while on some of their new boards. I just built an Athlon XP system for my step-father with an A7V8X-X/2400+, so I'll have to see what happens there. IMO: DFI or MSI are the brands to go with.

hardnrg Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 i'd have to be anti-biased and say go with a DFI... my delta-L's got some sort of 192FSB stability limit... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
