What are the best ocing s754 and s939 mobos?

[Bboy_Jon]

Ok well im either going to get a s75$ Or a s939 system, i dunno which. I think i can get my dad to spend up to 230 dollars probably, MAYBE just MAYBE up to 270 possibly

so if i get s754 ill probly get a 3000 new castle and a dfi ut 250gb, sound good?

Now if i were to get a s939 i dunno which i would GET besides a 3000 winnie, i dunno which mobo is good and would cost around 270 with the proc

I need agp no pci x

MSI K8N Neo 2.

I threw my 3000+ in a guy's MSI K8N Neo 2 that just returned from being RMAed and only maxed at 2.6ghz, unstable. They're good boards, but not the best. Just look at the best scores: DFI. On the Intel side, a guy got 7.2ghz. On AMD, a guy got 43k in 3DMark2001 using the SLI version of the board I use. Just recently, someone got 4ghz using the same board as the other.

[john_spit010]

yeah they're the best but he needs agp.

[SSPrncVegeta]

Yea, but he asked what was the best, not what were the A64 boards with AGP support.

but ya the neo 2 is probly too much

[john_spit010]

its only around $130 and the proc is around that too. So it should fit in your budget.

[Bboy_Jon]

I know DFI was up there in overclocking with Abit in the socket A days.
I noticed it has 2 pci-e 16x slots, can this be modified to sli?

That's the board I have, I love it to death. There is a mod to change it to SLI, but nVidia was said to have taken actions to prevent this mod, although I can't find anywhere on Google that someone hasn't been able to because of it.

If you definately want SLI, just get the SLI-D. I got the Ultra-D because it's the same overclocking potential as the DFI SLI boards, just with no official SLI support.

Not interested in SLI, but hey modding is fun.

kk so the j or the +??

[Bboy_Jon]

hmm what heatsink is better? the thermal right xp-90 or the tt venus 12?

Id say xp-90 but....i have an sp-97 on my axp, and my friend had a volcano 12 on his 2500 barton, his cpu ran cooler than mine and he oced higher than me, either its better or i didnt put the heatsink on correctly

wtth?

[john_spit010]

you either mounted incorrect or you a really weak fan on it, the SP97 is much better than the TT Volcano and the XP90 is much better the TT Venus.
