Best socket A/462 mobo for overlcocking

[AMDgood IntelBAD]

i want something that will let me change frontside bus and voltage and the native fsb needs to be able to go to atleast to 200mhz. i found a $30 dfi would that be an upgrade from my ecs kt600-a?

this is the $30 dfi, i think its the same chipset as mine but im not sure if it will let me change bios

nf7-s2 looks good anyone had experience with it, for $50 i like it quite alot

Sell your SOcket A parts and get a cheap 939 (or even 754) based system. There is no point whatsoever of upgrading to an outdated platform. I think Outpost was running a deal which included motherboard and processor for $169.

The NF7-S2 is horrible. The good one is the NF7-S Ver 2.0.

As for the DFI board. A link would be nice

i was going to do the 939 thing but decided to wait till next year, maybe the a8n-e premium will be out so for now i'm just going to get the abit nf7-s2 it has softmenu so its gotta be better than what i have now, atleast it allows me to overclock without shoving copper wire in the socket to change vCore.

The simple NF7 would be much more better for OC

 

[Gamingphreek]

Do not get the NF7-S2. It is HORRIBLE. You are confusing it with the much much better Ver 2.0.

There is no point in waiting for next year for socket 939. By the Second half of next year a new socket will be out and AMD will be using DDR2. The latest i would wait is early fall.

i found the kv7 for like $40 is that good for overclocking?

the nf7 only sends 333mhz effective bus to cpu? i need 400 at least

 

[Gamingphreek]

You would need the Version 2.0. ANything you buy for the AXP platform will be a waste. Get the Socket 754 or 939... IT IS WORTH IT.

yes i know that!!!!!!!!!!!!! i will be upgrading next year, right now i dont really have a lot of moeny to do it. so i'll get this moterboard so i can hold off for a while. isn't there a new socket coming out anyway, and isnt 939 just about to not be the top socket?????? why would i need the v2.0???? what does it do does allow me to overclock better? and how?

I currently have the NF7-SG2. The NF7-S2 and NF7-SG2 do not have multiplier access in the BIOS, only FSB. My understanding is the NF7 Ver.2.0 has the full soft-menu options.

 

[AMDgood IntelBAD]

abit says the kv7 can change multiplier in softmenu

 

[Canterwood]

Ver 2.0 of NF7 added 400fsb support.

 

[AMDgood IntelBAD]

but 2.0 costs more money?? i like the kv7 and it will be good enough for something that im replacing in ~1 year.

 

[andy nowotny]

Original NF7 is good, but now......

 

[AMDgood IntelBAD]

i have decided upon the kv7 for $40 does anyone have anything negative to say about this board?

Not for OC. Why not 1 from the epox 8rda series then?
