if everything else is the same, ram, hd, everything, except for the motherboards, you have your answer already
i have seen the same with many boards and the same cpu, my present 1.2 would run only 1420 stable on my IWILL ka266, but 1520 on this Epox 8k7a+, just as one current example. amd or intel, both exhibit the same types of behavior with different motherboards and all else equal.
