Which mobo for oc Hi, I'm kinda tired of my asus mobo which does only 200Mhz fsb. So I'm gonna order a new mobo from Jes-Computer. It has to be one from this list. I'm not sure yet, I'm doubting I'm thinking of the NF7-s, AN7-S or the epox8rda3+. My goal is: to reach an as high as possible stable fsb. I know the nf7-s is great but is the AN7 better? I read possitive and negative reviews about it. I heard epox is good but I never had one. Anyone has got a clue? |
I'd go for the AN7 . |
I'm a bitt afraid of it because I read some reviews where it clocked real bad or is this solved now? |
Well, let me put my 2 cents in; Electronic parts are "funny" business; your system is only as good as the weakest part. The combinations and variables are many. 100% to specs: Mobo + CPU + Memory + PSU + Vcard = Excellent system for Ocing. Anyone falls short or way short; say 90% but still within the low end tolorance would affect the end result. MOBO specs include; MOSFET (good voltage delivery); NB/SB stabilities. Similarly; best performance = highest SUSTAINABLE / DELIVERABLE ouput. One of my NF7 would deliver right-on in vcore; another one falls short by 0.05 volt. In short; you choose the one with good to very good users comment + below average market pricing and hope for the best.;) |
CPU, mem en card are ok. Psu is crap atm, but will be replaced soon. :) |
maybe DFI lanparty ? |
No. To expensive and they to many probs with the bios. |
yeah i know but then you know you gonna hit high fsb :) |
but they seem to perform worse @ same speed. Some say the AN7 is better, some say the NF7 is better and other say the 8RDA3+ is better. Tough chooise he :D . Here they compare the AN7 to the NF7s . |
Close call, but the an7 can give 3.2v to the mem. I'm wondering if my mem would survive this, it's no bh5, it's twinmos with 50B chips (223fsb on agressive timings with 2.9V) |
It will prolly survive, but the question is, how long :D . |
At least 2 years 24/7 :) I guess I won't go for the epox, because It often ends at 215fsb. The nf7 would stop around 220 normally, but the an7 is a guess. Sometimes it hit's 230, sometimes only 210Mhz. |
take an nf7-s, it's more fun, you can fully mod it +when you take an an7 you have to be lucky, or your board will do 240 or it will hardly do 200 but when you take an nf7-s and fully mod it, you will prolly hit 240+ ( the newer boards are a bit wurse but still good ) |
Aaarggggh, I hate modding I had some terrible experiences with that :(. |
I have a DFI lanparty, it goes up to 240fsb with standard chipset cooling but like sead before in this thread the bios problems are anoying |
