Hi everyone.
I have currently, a winchester 3200, 3500.. I made a mistake of buying epox 939 board, which is literally P O S.
I could never get those chips to anywhere near 2600(2400 was best) so i ordered a FX-53.
It's multipler unlocked and all, so i could run 12~14X200. I think the board is the biggest culpit so far.
I see a lot of success with msi neo 2+ .90 chips (or fx), and saw TWO stories of epox running stable.
I also have OCZ pc4000 dual channel (el. which i think is hynix chips) gold(512X2), Would it benefit me more to go MSI neo2 + 3500(total about 400 bucks) or keep epox and go for FX chip(600 bucks for the chip).
Not sure if i wanan buy another ram setup, nor if it works fine with msi at tight timings.
no matter what i do, using SATA(on 3/4 slots) i can't overclock over 240mhz bus on various boards.
opinoins are welcomed!
Few have recommended new power supply, so i have ocz 550 coming.
it's strange why same chip works at 2600(260X10) on neo 2, and not over 240(239X10, epox is overclocked by default). so far neo is the board i have been able to overclock over 239 mhz while using SATA(slot 3,4 of coruse)
