bigred Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 try an asus A8R32-MVP. better OC results. this is of course assuming you'll be messing with an ATI video card an NOT nvidia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotdamojo06 Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 of course ATI video card so the asus will have better oc resuts than the dfi lanparty? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 on the ATI / AMD side of things the Asus 939 boards are incredible overclockers. plus they've proven to be total opposites of all the other Asus boards lately (ie total crap).

gotdamojo06 Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 ok, cool. I know that Asus in the past has been great with Intel chips and not as good with the AMD. At least thats what I have heard...so when he suggested the asus, i was a little surprised Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 in all honesty I was so fed up with Asus until I got the A8R-MVP for review... infact I was ready to put on a pair of rubber gloves before handling it. once I got it installed, fired up... SOLD. my lanparty went in my daughter's rig. upgraded a few weeks later to the A8R32-MVP. love those things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 While the A8R32-MVP is nice it cant clock as high as the DFI. The only way it will is if you have a cpu that will give you its max clocks at a relatively low vcore. I only know because i have had both of them and all hardware was the same except the board with clean OS installs on each. Max Stable clocks I could achieve with the asus 277x10 and with the DFI 287x10. Your mileage may vary but that is the experience that i have had.
