Just wondering if there is a better deal out there for overclocking on a budget of $150 or less than the 3ghz guaranteed 3600 x2 / TF-7050 combo ? I know overclocks are not guaranteed but when you look at people getting 3.2ghz off of air with the new 3600 x2 Brisbanes I think anyone with advanced OC knowledge should be able to do the same :)

I was mainly wondering if there is a good $50 - $60 939 mobo that can make the Opty 165 match this price range with good overclockability as I doubt there is any mobo that will unleash an E4300 for arround $30 - $40.

Newegg had a decent Foxconn s939 board that has many oc options and could do about a 280mhz HTT. The 165 opt would only get to: 2500mhz or so. Of course the other boards could oc better than the one I got. Newegg at one time had a mir to bring it down to $40. I do not know if it is still in effect or not. It is the nForce-6100 Foxconn board i'm talking about.

That Biostar/Brisbane combo should be just fine for ocing. The TForce has all the oc options and uses better components than the normal biostar boards. I see no reason why you couldn't hit 3ghz with that combo. Unless you get a cpu dud.

I would get that combo if it was me. :)
