which socket 754 mb is best for overclock?

[lookouthere]

i need a mobo that can provide high FSB

Best place to start.

I can't say what my pick would be for sure, but likely i'd say the MSI K8N Neo Platinum.

I've heard the Epox is pretty solid aswell

Any motherboard with PCI/AGP Lock. Currently you only have the NF 3 250 chipset to do the job.

Look for the following brands

1. ASUS Nf 3 ( I think its called the SK8V Deluxe )
2. MSI K8N Neo 2
3. Gigabyte K8nnsnxp

While MSI and ASUS will top the rankings but gigabyte will push further adding all features you want.

The cheapest of them will be the MSI Neo, but if wanting to add Big Coolers for your CPU like Zalman, the only resonable option left is ASUS

chaintech vnf3-250 would be my choice. Probably the best price/performance mobo you can get right now. Got mine for 70 bucks shipped. I think if you go to mwave.com you can get it for less than 80 still.

the epox 8kda3j is a solid solid board....

can run high fsb's, has pci/agp lock... and good tech support

and it's cheaply priced around 90 to 100

Another vote for the chaintech vnf3-250 (if you dont need gigabit lan + onchip firewall) running mine with an A64 2800+ @ 2385 265fsb(htt) 1.65v. Also had a K8N Neo and got exact same OC but costs $50 more.

Just to throw the praises of the 8kda3j off. Monarch Computers refuses to sell/use Epox motherboards because of they have been "known to fail". I was going to get an Epox...but Monarch Computers cares about their customers so I'm going to side with them.

My Epox has been great for me.

 

[Lyfer]

Get the chaintech!

My Epox has never so much as uttered a hiccup. Most of my friends in college who build their own computers use Epox boards, and no one has ever had a problem with them. They may have had problems years ago, but they make great boards right now. The 8KDA3 is supposed to be a very sweet, highly overclockable board. It just won't mix with mobile processors.

if you can wait until late august, seems as though the new DFI board is the way to go

Epox based on Nforce3 250
