Overclock advantage with a Mobo swap?

[wtf8269]

I was looking at DFI Lan Party boards and they look like they can overclock a whole lot, do you think there would be a big enough advantage worth switching to one?

Look for reviews and look at the oc section and then compare to the board you currently have.
I would recommend DFI since I am using a Infinity board atm.
Don't know if they are any good for AMD tho

[wtf8269]

Nevermind, just realized DFI doesn't make NF3 (AGP) 939 boards, and I don't exactly feel like buying a new GPU. :mad:

hm the best agp oc board for socket 939 is the abit a8v if u want with third eye but the eye doesnt improve oc quality hf with it :D

A8V, thats what I am going for for some overclocking. Heard a lot of good things on them. :D

Well I'm at 2.55ghz 1.6vcore right now, and the only higher, but still stable overclock I can get is 2.6ghz 1.7vcore. (1.65vcore is unstable, this cpu is a vcore hog. :mad: ) Which isn't worth the higher temperatures to me, and my mobo won't go higher than 1.7vcore so unless i could get 1.8 or something I wouldn't want a new motherboard.

DFI makes a very good NForce 4 socket 939 motherboard, the DFI Lanparty. Looks pretty too.

Yes, it's a very nice motherboard, but I have an AGP graphics card. :mad:

Same problem...I wont to get a new cpu and a DFI mobo but I have a fairly new video card. X800Pro, don't really feel like replacing it just yet.

a nForce3 939 AGP DFI board is on its way..

but if you're looking to upgrade, might as well wait till you've got the money to do a complete switch to pci-e + nforce4 or even wait for the new M2 socket.

thats what i was telling the nforce 3 ultra or gb 250 has active cooling and is as fast as the via solution but htis is passive and the abit is the best for ocing just gamestar tested it

Yeah, I don't really see a point in spending $130+ for another possible 150mhz tops.

hm but it might be good, but i htink its worseevery mgh one euro?

[wtf8269]

Dollars where I live, and with my level of income, no. :p I don't plan on upgrading until AMR comes out and is at an affordable price.
