    Please help me find a SFF mobo

    The new nVidia 8200 and AMD 780G chipsets look good for AM2 systems. On Intel theres the G45. Both are very good.

    uATX Results

    The G33, in the form of the Gigabyte DS2R, has been out for many weeks now and is approaching maturity. Its suprising that so few other manufacturers have used this chipset yet. Although Asus and MSI now have a board out. The performance version of the G33 - the G35 - is due out soon.

    The Unofficial ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Board Thread

    I'm using a pair of 1gb OCZ Platinum XTC pc6400 on the p5n-e. Running at 2.1V they manage 440MHz 4-4-4-12. Using the 7X multi on my CPU gives me 3080MHz. When i change multipliers to maximize my e6400 speed, the best i can get is 3300MHz (472x7) @ 1.45V. Of the few bios available for this...

    DS3 vs P5B-E vs P5N-E SLI - Help Please!

    I'm trying to choose between the same three boards. I'll be running an e6500 and hope for 450 FSB on air. Stability is more important to me than high OC.

    The Unofficial ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Board Thread

    Sorry if this has already been asked in this thread. I'm trying to choose a board. The P5N-e looks good. I'm hoping for 450MHz FSB and good stability on air. My other choices are a gigabyte 965P-S3 and an Asus P5B-E. I dont plan on using SLI and i'm not running RAID or more than 2 hard disks...

    The Unofficial ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Board Thread

    Do we now have a better idea of what FSB a typical P5N-e can reach? Reviews ive read reckon its around 450MHz. But many of you here have trouble getting past 400.

    220x10 better than 200x11.5?

    Isnt that the point of the question? In real world usage is 220x10 (2.2GHz) faster than 200x12.5 (2.5GHz)? Does the faster memory win?

    *** Official ASUS P4P800/Deluxe (865PE) Thread ***

    Why do people insist on tight memory timings before they know the limit of their cpu and board. Set the most relaxed timing that you can (eg 3-4-4-8) and use 3:2 ratio to find how high your cpu and fsb can go. Then tighten up the ratio and timings.

    *** Official Albatron PX865PE Pro/II (865PE) Thread ***

    I remember reading that some 865/875 implementations have trouble running at tight timings. using SPD, the Corsair LL will run 2-2-2-6. You'll probably find you can drop the voltage back down if you manually set the timings to 2-3-3-6.

    Would it be correct to say the following are limitations of the px865pe pro ? - Only 2 usb ports on back panel - Southbridge is ICH5 only - no sata raid - fsb speed limited to 250MHz - does the board allow pci/agp lock? - cpu voltage limited to 1.6V - Vmem limited to 2.85V

    Can anyone give me any ideas about overclocking my 2.4B SL6EF and the Abit BH7?

    How warm does your cpu heatsink get? If not very, then you could have poor contact between cpu and hsf. Once I reseated my heatsink with some as3 and my fsb went from 157 to 161 stable.

    Epox 4PEAD?

    My local retailers claim that Epox have discontinued the 4PEA and now sell the 4PEAD and 4PEAE (both with 'I' variants - onboard LAN). Anyone know if these boards overclock well? The 'D is cheaper, but both use the 845PE chipset. There is very little about them on internet.

    Epox 4PEAD ?

    Seems that Epox has discontinued the 4PEA and now sells the 4PEAD and 4PEAE (both with 'I' option for onboard ethernet). Is anyone familiar with these boards? Both are 845pe boards with the 'D' variant being the cheaper of the two. Jim

    >>> P4 2.4B <<<

    Ive had two SL6EF cpus - week 38 and week 44. The highest stable either would go is 161 fsb (1.65V). Both could boot at 166 but would crash when benching. Both were tried on two different boards - a BE7 and an Epox 4pead :-(
