Whats the best slocket?

[RichieZ]

I have an I will SLocket II rigth now, but i think it might be hold me back. The only other one I can get locally and cheap is an Abit Slocket III for $12. Dammit I want an MSI but for around $15!

You can get the MSI Master ms-6905 form AccessMicro or Computers4sure for betweeen $19-19.50 shipped.
These are the highly recommended coverter slockets.

The Abit III is a POS. Get the MSI is you can, Iwill 2nd, Asus 3rd and Abit as a last resort.

Me, having tested lots of stuff in large volumes feels qualified to make this statement.

MSI MASTER 6905 is the best.

I had experiences with IWILL and ASUS but the MSI is worth the extra bucks.

Whatever Compuwiz1 says to use is the way to go. He has grey hair to prove it. . .

I have 2 MSI Masters and have never has a problem with either. I had a generic slotket that came with my pretested 366@550 (a long time ago) and it died in 4 months.

Using a brand name slocket can have a big impact on overclocking potential and voltage.

For example: I had a MSI slocket on my Cel. 366@550 running @ 2.1v when I got another processor. So I swapped the MSI out to use on the new CPU for a generic no-name slocket. With the generic slocket, the processor would not run stable @550 @ 2.1v => it required a bump to 2.2v to now run stable.

I think I speak for most everyone when I say the slocket does make a difference.

The MSI is definitely a good one. I have one and it is prefectly stable and it fits in my locks for my board(my last one did not)
