ASRock 939Dual-SATA2

[ExtremeGamer09]

Is the ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 good for overclocking, does anyone know?

It is great for overclocking as long as you do not need a higher VCore voltage than your CPU's default VCore + 0.05V and a DDR voltage higher than 2.7V.

you call this a good overclocker board with these limited voltage options?

Depends on what he wants! Not every memory module needs 3V. Not every overclocker overvolts the core by 0.2V!

The main attraction of this board is that it seems to be the only 939 board with PCI-E and (real) AGP slots. It costs only $65.

It also allows a decent amount of overclocking. Is it the best overclocker? No. That is why I mentioned the limitations.

I've got my Opty 144 overclocked to 2.7Ghz with stock HSF and stock voltage. No it's not a mega-overclocker but for $65.00 it ain't too shabby!!!

It took a Opt 144 I had to 2900mhz. So, in terms of htt ocing, it would be considered good.

It's a great choice for dual core + UCCC 2 gig kits. (2-3-2-5 or 3-4-4-8 2 gig ram kits).

1.45 or less on the cpu and 2.5 on the RAM and you are set.

I had to voltmod mine b/c my 146 isn't the best overclocker, but at 1.55v I'm doing 2.8g and DDR 466 w/my GSKILL HZ's.

The voltmod (connecting vid4 to ground) seems questionable! Isn't vid4 the output of a chip? Connecting it to ground can cause that chip to possibly be damaged.
I am considering the voltmod. But, I need more information about it.
