The Abit NF7 was the best overclocker. [url]http://www.abit-usa.com/products/mb/products.php?categories=1&model=6[/url]

If I was you, I would save my money for a new motherboard and CPU.

Nubius, which mobo did you have for your XP setup?



Posted by: SHAWN

I read that DFI boards are great for overclocking



Posted by: Counter-Strike

Yes they are the best brand for OC'ing, that is actually what they are made for.



Posted by: Trifid

They were not grat last time round. It is only because of the guy who made Abit good went to DFI they became good overclockers.

Nubius has a MSI one, can't remember which model, but if you do a search Abit NF7 was [b]the[/b] overclocker.

Pretty sure it was the Abit that Nubius had :confused:

This is what I read
DFI=OC
but I also hear there is great trust in MSI.

If i were you i would use price as the deciding factor-none of them are exactly high end (at a glance)

yea msi or dfi whichever one u wanna pay for.and 1 gig ram is ok but u might want some better cooling for your card and or cpu. i get artifacts in this hot weather all the time. when i load cs the windows are pink and then boxes are black. so if ur gonna wanna overclock get some good cooling for that card . i think my sliders are set 330/1.14.



Posted by: Dark_Sniper*

Or know its from DFI or the MSI. KNow for the cooling hmm, i dont't really know for my socket A and for the vga card for the 6600gt. i hafve a thread talking about that in the OCing area. And if i was to get the DFI with mobo i mean there are 2 of them. Cause i want to OCing jsut a little you know It more of the vga card i want to OC.
