avalanche165 Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 which one in general is better for overclocking and why. both will be running amd 64 3200's, maybe 3500's. standard for the most part. ati x800, gb ram, watercooling, big ol case. good foundation for oc, just picking a motherboard.

aaronamd Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 my socket 7 gigabyte board gets my axp 2500 to 3Ghz when the msi could only go to about 2.5Ghz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsinister Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 Are you guys talking about the lanparty motherboards? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 Lanparty is DFI, which is so far the best nforce4 ocer. socket 939 nforce3 would be msi, socket 754 nforce3 would be a tie between msi and dfi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronamd Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 I'm not at least, I have and use a Gigabyte GA-7n400 Pro-2 whith an axp OCed to 3.0 Ghz and I love It! it got a . load of features and workes great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregP24 Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 I was just reading some reviews over at anandtech, and they actaully got a better OC off the Gigabyte K8NSNXP than the MSI Neo2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
caffeinejunkie Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 I'd say the dfi has more volatge opitons than any average overclocker should need. When am i ever gonna run my 2800 off 2.1volts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verran Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 are you serious? i've only seen one person in the world take an axp to 3GHz and that was with the most insane cooling ever... you mean 3GHz stable or 3GHz post??? that would be a 1165MHz oc... or 63% which is insane... 431809[/snapback] I was thinking the same thing. 1100mhz+ OC? I guess anything's possible, but forgive me if I'm a bit skepical. As far as the boards... from all of the reviews I have read, they are neck and neck. I looked at the gigabyte 939 board, but it wouldn't take the XP-120, so I went with the MSI. But the MSI's BIOS is VERY goofy, so it's a tough call.

BTW: I also agree with nrg on the 3ghz OC thing. I too am a little skeptical with that OC especially on that board lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byron Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 I have to join the pool on that 3ghz claim. Start a thread and post a cpu-z shot, bios shot, and a benchmark with it (then I will believe it). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
