    Is Asus A8N-E The right selection for my computer ?

    Is ASUS A8N-E good at overclcoking? I need to hit atleast 250-270Mhz ro run my 3500+ @2.6-2.7Ghz, and that preferably at 1:1 sync with my OCZ DDR500 1GB RAM. Really need any input on this. I want this board as I don't need SLI and the proce is really good on this board.

    DFI Boards

    Do you think you can use 20-pin PSU on this mobo, as it has 24-pin? Somehow anandtech.com review didn't even say anything about this, and also were able to misstype quoting it has 20-pin connector. Currently I am using Thermaltake Butterfly PurePower 480W PSU.

    Which NForce3 Ultra board? EPoX or MSI?

    My recommendation goes to MSI. Though Epox should be good, too. In the past I have used mainly Epox boards for my setups. The only reason I went with the MSI was the fact of early availability, plus great reviews on this board. By the way, this is first time I am using MSI board and I am...

    King S939 Motherboard

    Waiting for the Epox 9NDA3+ ! This company has always produced excellent boards. Since it took them so much time to release this board, I think that they have considered most of the problems that were seen with other boards from companies released before.

    Asus A8V, Abit AV8, or MSI Neo2 ?

    MSI K8N S939 or better the upcoming Epox 9NDA3+, also on nForce3 250 Ultra chipset. I will switch to Epox as soon as it reaches the stores.

    Epox 9NDA3+ Any word?

    Same here. I had 8RDA3+ for my AMD XP processor. I had to get Asus board for my S939 3500+ as there were no other options a month ago. So as soon as Epox reaches the shelves, I am grabbing one for sure. Always liked Epox products. No doubt, one of the best brands and mobo maker out there.

    Max Overclock on Asus A8V K8T800 Pro ?

    I recently purchased the Asus A8V Deluxe Wi-fi board with 3500+ and OCZ 2x512MB PC4000 EL Dual Channel. I got sick of waitng the nForce3 mobo. My max overclcok with the latest BIOS, 1006, was 220 x 11 in Sync with memory. Higher than that, and SATA starts to crash, litteraly. So, basically I am...

    MSI K8N NEO2 Platinum Available SHORTLY!

    I got tired of waiting for my Neo2 and grabbed Asus A8V rev. 1.02 (yups, not even 2.0). The board is what i expected. Not much for overclockers. I am hoping that in the coming months the nForce4 will arive and then I'll jump to that one. If the nForce4 will be delayed, then for sure i will...

    Is there a better skt 939 mobo than the MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum

    I'll wait for the MSI as it will be in stock way before the Epox board, as the Epox has announced that their board will start shipping in mid-September. Once the nForce4 solution are out, I will switch back to the Epox board, as I have been using them for years. One advice I can tell is not to...

    Got myself Sony DWU-18A, flashed it with the ROM from Lite-on 832S and now the drive is capable of burning DL @2.4X And the drive came only for $75.

    Need Help Choosing a Motherboard.

    I can tell you one thing for sure. DO NOT go for motherboards based on VIA K8TPro chipsets. First of all they are having problems with the AGP/PCI lock, though newer versions of boards have solved this problem. Secondly, they are way slower than the nForce3 chipsets. Thirdly, in terms of...

    I also got all the components to get my new system up and running. Only the board is missing. I will definately wait for the MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum.
