Like the topic suggests...would really appreciate it if some of the gurus or owners of the above mentioned boards can give a clue as to which of the two are more worthy....or can overclock better...
Both are based on P45 chipsets and are really very good for overclocking..but which 1 u prefer? & y? thnx! |

For real!? am actually planning to use it to OC an E5200 to 3.75GHz (12.5x280) or at least 3.5GHz (12.5x300)...can it do? wif dis board can it do dat?
Btw...if d cpu managed to hit 3.5...will it bottleneck a GTS 250 or HD 4850? |

WoW!...thnx for d feedback guys...actually I've got a fren who has his rig setup as:
E5200 M0 Revision G31-ES2L KVR 667 His 1 can only hit 3.375 (12.5x270) DRAM:FSB is 1:1...& this is not a fully stable setup oso...will experience blue screen after an hour or so in windows...Altimi...mind to share wat voltage u're playing wif at 3.57GHz? Err..still..the bottleneck question? 4850 or gts 250? will bottleneck wif e5200 at 3.5 or not? thnx guys This post has been edited by Sir Adrian Wellesley: May 1 2009, 05:51 PM |

QUOTE(altimi @ May 1 2009, 11:36 PM) My motherboard is EP31-DS3L not G31......E5200 Intel Burn test Stable at 3.57GHz (340 x 10.5) @ 1.28V, 2GB Supertalent 800Mhz CL5 @ 1020MHz 5-5-5-15 thnx alot altimi...i nvr knew d p31 board can do dat much good...haha...thnx again for sharing!Depends on details and resolution la..........if you're playing at high res & details i think the bottleneck is more on GPU side........  Added on May 2, 2009, 10:52 am QUOTE(Afro100 @ May 1 2009, 11:39 PM) I managed to overclock my proc to 4Ghz(Q9650) with UD3L, If you'r on tight budget UD3L is a good choice, thnx for d vote Afro100...I was wondering if ASUS or Gigabyte was d better choicedunno about P5Q se tho... Added on May 2, 2009, 10:54 am QUOTE(LYR @ May 1 2009, 04:34 PM) well, you see. some of the forumers can already push E5200 to 3.5GHz with G31 chipset if you check at overclocking section. P45 chipset is even better at doing this task. i will choose Gigabyte as personal preference. alot of gigabyte fans here...thnx for ur vote...was having a hard time determining wic of the 2 (asus vs gigabyte) wud be better overclockers.Added on May 2, 2009, 10:55 am QUOTE(xcen @ May 1 2009, 11:40 PM) No point buying such a good chipset for a cheap processor in my opinion. Get a G/P31 or G/P35 should be enough. i'll keep that in mind...thnx for sharing =)This post has been edited by Sir Adrian Wellesley: May 2 2009, 10:55 AM |
