The best oc board for 2.6c?

[kenshinjeff]

I was kinda thinking of getting an ic7 max3 but it's out of stock in most places where I am. So are there any alternatives to it? How about a P4P800 Deluxe or a IC7? Any recommendations please? Thanks alot for help before hand.

I would reccomend the ASUS P4P800-E Deluxe (865PE) or the P4C800-E Deluxe (875)

p4p800 does not have enough vcore, 2.85 I believe. Wait for the ic7

best overclocking board out for 865. vdim is 3.2 and you can change voltage and fsb in windows

I think you may mean vdimm max is 2.85v and not vcore. With 2.85 vcore you would fry the cpu PDQ and most P4C chips don't do much better with anything above 1.60 vcore.

I think the max3 is too expensive so maybe the asus p4p800....You defintely want a good mobo has 250fsb plus can be had and this is the line that separates the contenders form the pretenders in P4 ociing platforms....

the vdimm is max out on that asus board at 2.8 not sure about the vcore but if you want a over clocker read the reviews on the abit ai7

I have the P4P800 Deluxe with a P4 2.6C @ 3.12, 1.525V (1.55 reported by CPU-Z) (still testing o/c buts its been stress testing for over 12 hours and is still fine). I would definetly recommend this board. It goes up to 1.9V CPU VCore (but asus overvolts so its prolly 2V), but over 1.65 will eventually kill the CPU, so no need for more than that. VDIMM goes up to 2.95V, but I keep mine at 2.65V and it works well. The FSB is 100 to 400. Also the P4P800 features a turbo mode that gives a nice performance boost when overclocking (I benchmarked with Sandra and saw a difference).
