[IntelDude]

I like everything in the 2nd choice except the Asus mobo. I am not a big fan of Asus. Abit would be my suggestion.

 

[bloodthirst]

asus are shitty for overclocking

dont worry about getting a new hard drive get the p4 and the DFI LANParty 925X-T2

 

[enVias]

Asus aren't shitty for overclocking at all.. They're just not as good as DFI.

 

[ionicle_old]

they aint?!

 

[enVias]

They're not that bad guys!

 

[Waffles]

i can get 2.8ghz on my asus and 3ghz on the dfi. the asus requires no work whatsoever (tweaking) and im lazy

Asus's are the leader in stock performance. They rip through benchmarks like bats out of hell, at stock, with the competition at stock.

At overclocking, they're good. They're a good board if you already have it, to OC with...but I wouldn't go out and buy specifically ASUS when you have your mind set on getting a leet oc.

That's when DFI comes in hand. MSI's higher-end lines also overclock very well.

Me & Davos, have had great luck OC'in our Intel's on my old board, and HG007 got his Giga-Byte with a VIA Chipset to 250 FSB which is, quite hard to do.

 

[ionicle_old]

so asus is good then...

 

[Eguy]

Actually the A8N-SLI Pre is now the best OC board... for now

 

[NickS]

Sure it is.

You're out of your damn mind, LOL!

 

[NickS]

Sure it is.

I basically said that here, but, very sarcastically.

I think your referring to Shamino's benchies? Yeah they're good but the DFI boards have produced better results in higher amounts...

 

[ionicle_old]

asus are good...jsut the colour, and that cant really be helped..

 

[ionicle_old]
