870a is nice.. i think all also same only layout diff.. just take which ever have extra features..

asus.. for average i always afraid of their bios...

emm so 970a is the best <450 board eh?

anymore?
imo coz im using asus now....bios looks ok..with plenty of oc function..

Beware of Gigabyte !

They have hot PWM and NB ( their cooler sucks )

So please be prepare to buy urself a heatsink/cooler.


My sister Asus mobo sooooooooooooo coool eventhough it has IGP in it - -..

Wow. Trying new stuff bro? x6?

-pWs-

this is something to ponder.......
aduiii

plenty of option yes.. but useless another thing to consider..

wut gaygaybyte board u hav use b4 tis 2 prove ur statement?

Gigabyte MA770UT3DP

And i think most gigabyte mobo affected.
Ask some gigabyte users here..but most of them reapplied TIM or replace the cooler which i dont for some cases.

My NB if touch now walalaaalala much hotter than GPU (even in stock,not overclocking)

I should be looking for cheapo heatsink to cool of my PWM - -..

Let us know if you upgrade bro.

Better get rid of heat asap.

emm thts the thing..
now got cipot budget..

im running 555be+ddr2+m4a78-e
its either:



1) X6 but stay with old mobo n ddr2
2) 555be with ddr3 and 8series chipset..




what do you guys think?? which option shud i go?

I support AMDAthlon statement.

I used that board before and it can reach 35~40C idle.

This is not the max OC but i think it is the sweetest spot for my rig to run at 24/7 setup coz it's running below stock voltage which is 1.35V.

- Processor : Phenom II X2 555 unlocked to Phenom II X4 B55.
- CPU stepping : CACAC AC 1003EPMW.
- Revision : RB-C3.
- Max CPU clock speed, reference clock and multiplier : 3600GHz (225 X 16).
- CPU voltage : 1.30V.
- CPU-NB voltage : 1.325V.
- Northbridge clock : 2700MHz.
- HTT link speed and voltage : 2025MHz @ stock voltage.
- Motherboard used : Gigabyte MA785G-UD3H.
- Type of cooling : Lapped Xigmatek Archilles S1284 with custom push pull setup.

if like this better get X6 first..

@ acap_20
Go for more. 3800MHz should be doable below 1.35v.

-pWs-

gay2bite board i think not suitable for oc... i use before GAMA790FXT, cannot get higer speed n lower vcore compare to DFI..

even on other platform also.. My friend using gay2bite x58 mobo, 2 months OC 4.0ghz, now board sudah weng oledy..

But i like DOlby Digital on Gay2bite mobo.. very nice..

emm serious ka??

can I know your reason for choosing x6? not the mobo+ddr3
hehehehe


guys..help a brother here to choose his path.......

3800MHz need at least 1.425V so high la..

as long as <1.5v and <60c temp on load should be ok.
make sure psu can tahan also

If 3800GHz i need at least 1.425V and max temp can go as high as 65c degrees on Prime95. How to know if my PSU can tahan?

Impossible. Your is rev c3 right?
