Not bad at all, but yeah, your temps are high. On the E6400 OC article on here they achieved 2.88 without hardly any temp change. Just hard for me to make up my mind because the 975x has better overall speed with an OC, and I'm not completely convinced the P5B would be completely stable if I...

Thanks for the advice guys. I'm basically looking to get the most out of the E6400. From what I've read, the 975x chipset still OC's better than the P965 (or at least performs better overall than the P965. Budget is no object here, just looking to all I can out of the less expensive E6400...

Bump...anyone have any suggestions?

I'm in the process of building a new computer, and have most of my components picked out. I'm going with an Intel Core 2 Duo E6400, CORSAIR XMS2 2GB DDR2 800 (PC2 6400), and my current video card (EVGA 7800 GT). I have been researching the two motherboards, and was set on the P5W until I...

Good advice, I definately don't consider myself an "extreme" overclocker, I just don't want to have a lot of problems with the mobo I end up buying. I guess if you go looking you'll find problems people have had with any board. I do want to be able to overclock my board when I feel I need a...

Also, would the MSI motherboard support my crucial Ballistix RAM that requires 2.8v? I looked at the specs of the MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI mobo, and it says 2.65 max? Or am I reading it wrong?

If those problems aren't common, I'll probably go with the MSI board.

Even the Anandtech review shows Overclocks to be similar to those of the DFI board, according to this link of overclock performance http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=2358&p=15

I've heard that the MSI board had a 4000+ OC'd to 375FSB, which I consider to be pretty good. I probably won't overclock right away, but it's always in the back of my mind. I wasn't planning on buying a sound card either, so figured the SB Live that MSI provides would do pretty well for...

What I am mainly looking for is a response to the quote I pasted from HardOCP. They said some people were having issues when they tried overclocking the board, as stated in this quote: "We at HardOCP are sorry to report that this MSI K8N Neo4 motherboard has experienced errors in the field...

That's suprising, every review I've read had the MSI board hit really high OC's. The DFI UT SLI-D is the way to go in terms of overall performance? I also liked the integrated auto on the MSI board with the 24bit creative.

I'd like to find out if anyone has been having problems with this board before I look elsewhere, thanks for the suggestion though

I was looking to buy one of these boards, as I have read numerous excellent reviews about the mobo, including a good review by Anandtech, and then I came across an excellent review by HardOCP, but at the end of the review this was added: "We at HardOCP are sorry to report that this MSI K8N...

Thanks, I guess installing a SATA drive is easier than I expected, from what I heard there were more steps to go through.
