Amd Oc?

Kaotix · 22-May-04, 05:46 PM

who makes the "best" AMD OCing board? i am looking into an AMD 3200+barton with an abit nf7 board. is this a good starting point? is there a better OCing board for AMD out there? suggestions please

TYCOON · 22-May-04, 05:54 PM

The NF7-S is a good overclocking board, I would suggest a Athlon-M 2500+ if you want to overclock like a mofo.

Red02 · 22-May-04, 05:57 PM

Ya Tycoon hit the nail on the head, those M2500 are kickin cpu's. I have mine running at 11.5x226=2.6ghz with out problems.

Zennzzo's 2500+ mobile is gonna hit 3Ghz soon... Keep watching...

KayinStorm · 22-May-04, 06:52 PM

I say either the DFI Infinity/LANparty or the ABIT NF7-S, I took a 1700 to 9x250 on my Infinity...

but it still isnt a Abit.....hahahahahah

Red02 · 22-May-04, 07:03 PM

DFI is all right for running a high FSB, but there too flaky IMO, stick with the tried and true NF7-S rev2

KayinStorm · 22-May-04, 07:04 PM

Abit will never achieve the speed of the DFI. It's a proven fact. And on an AMD, memory bandwidth goes a long way.

Red02 · 22-May-04, 07:10 PM

Um.....might wanna check ur self on that one Kayin. DFI will never reach speeds of Abit

Edit: Check out the Overclockers database most boards being used are Abit NF7-S with High overclocks, there are a few DFI that are up there but for the most part Abit PWNS DFI

KayinStorm · 22-May-04, 07:11 PM

Any high FSB ranking will show DFI first, and Abit a distant second. There's a reason the NF7-s was created.

It was a warmup to the Infinity.

Like I said.

Red02 · 22-May-04, 07:45 PM

Im sayin for the most ghz your going to want to go with Abit. FSB goes to DFI, but there flaky.

KayinStorm · 22-May-04, 07:49 PM

For the record, both of our statements are correct. Because I use a lot of memorty bandwith intensive programs, it's a better choice for me. For sheer GHz, for encoding and the like, you have an excellent point.

I just don't wan this to be a pissing match. There are separate discrete applications for both boards.

And for your information, only certain BIOSes are flaky.

Red02 · 22-May-04, 07:54 PM

Well this is all from reading and what not, seeing as how I have never personally owned either board, just here there great o/cers and are worth the money. For me I'm pullin the **** outta my Epox 8RDA3+

Chrome_Rust · 22-May-04, 08:36 PM

abit - nee nrr nee nrr neeee nrrrrrrrrr!!!!

Red02 · 22-May-04, 08:44 PM

Ya what chrome said

Na there both good, but your not going to see anyone hit 3ghz on a DFI

Actually, translated, it means...

"I have an Intel. That means I forsook AMD, who took me in and nurtured me, who taught me the ways of OC. I gave up my right to comment, because even now I cower in the corner of a laundry room, trying to pump AC into my rig, trying to recapture the feeling that my AMD gave me. I am a sad, sad man. Please pity me, and remember me when you boot your AMD rig.

I was one of you once, before I was led astray."

Chrome_Rust · 22-May-04, 09:02 PM

actualli have an AMD rig here as we speak, a palo 1700 @ 1833....KT400 board 1.5gb ram Koolance 200g block & pump/res. a big freaking rad and a ti4600.......installing win200 pro as we speak. i never left AMD, i just got bored with it.....

AND who else can say that they have over 7k ghz in there laundry troom?
2.4c @ 3.6
2.53 @ 3015
XP1700 @ 1833 166 x 11 (kt400)

yeah i thought so.....

Laundry rooms are hot enough, I have about 11GHz spaced throughout my house:
2500+ @ 2.6
2100+ @ 2.7
A64 3400+ laptop
2.4A-Prescott @ 3.5

Yeah? I thought so...

Chrome_Rust · 22-May-04, 09:14 PM

no the laundry room is AC'd.... it is about 30C in here right now....with 3 rigs running. i am a little chilly as my feet are on the register
