abit or asus mobo for OC?
Hey
Time for an upgrade. I want to change my current mobo and cpu (MSI KT3 Ultra ARU & T-bred 2000+) to something newer. I'm thinking of the classics ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe or ABIT AN7. It needs to be very OC'able, have RAID, onboard sound and the holes on each side of the CPU for my watercooling. These where the only 2 boards I could find that had this. Should I think outside the nForce2 Ultra 400 chip? Which to choose? In CPU i'm thinking XP Barton 2600+ or Mobile 2400+. Barton 2500+ also a posibility if 2600+ isn't worth the extra cash. Thx Martin |

Thx If you are thinking of just a straight OC of the barton 25oo to 32oo then either one since it seems to be relatively easy and all you have to do is set the FSB to 4oo, Thats what Im doing as Ive posted a million times already and Im using cheap memory . NOT generic mem but cheap Kingston and Kbyte 400 mem. Generally Ive read that the Abit has a bit more options for micro settings when you OC the board . Maybe the newer ASUSes have added the option to but thats what Ive read. Ive got the slightly older A7n8x Deluxe ver 2. |
