as long as it is soc478, support same FSB it's ok la... can't get actually what ur Q....

actually what is Intel 865PE means ? chipset ??
Why i can't find the same name of chipset at other different motherbaord ? like asrock and msi.Can't find the same name Intel 865PE

if u use back then its okay, you just need to reinstall back the audio drivers, and chipset drivers etc
if totally different chipset then have to reformat, unless u ghost your windows ler

865PE/GB is the chipset that support p4 soc 478 supporting 800fsb. there is also 875,like Asus, gigabyte and abit produced for their highend series.this intel 875PE support PAT..

some of the manufacturer produce mobo with VIA chipset (dunno much about this).but still can support soc478....

Got VIA and SIS also.As long as their mobos are built with S478 socket then any 478 proc can fit in already. But usually for SIS and VIA mobo ,need to check on their max proc spec capability first before going to use them.

yeah, usually SIS got at those SFF mobo....SIS not bad for overclocker.... (example those shuttle series... )

Normally for OC, its best to choose mainstream to high end
My experience with SiS was....no PCI/AGP lock so can't go high >.>"

But is sad to say that SIS is not really a famous chipset for overclockers.I think even forummers here don't even have one of them is using them according to those reported in this thread here.

like what shinjite said, via and sis are lack of pci/agp lock. I prefer VIA more than sis. Maybe the SiS chipset i encounter is low end. VIA serves me better. I didnt see any VIA or SiS chipset users in this thread.

VIA is ok for normal use.But in terms of overclocking sitll left very much behind from Intel chipsets. VIA and SIS are normally found out on those budget boards.

at least they can oc compared to my intel board...

Intel doesn't support OCing mah

except for their latest intel 975xbx...

is Asrock P4i65G is a good mobo for OCing?
the description said got untied overclocking technology one..
but only can use with prescott s478 only..

say no to asrock

if normal use, Asrock is fine, but to OC, better get a better board.

yo guys, i need some recomendation on HSF for my P4C 3.0GHz oc @ 3.41GHz. Idle temp is around 45-48C but 100% load is as high as 75C ! even at stock voltage (1.525v) still too hot for me.

currently use the CM Xdream III Copper base+ Aluminium fins. i need to replace a good HSF so that i can decrease to about 55-60C on full load.

hmm..why asrock is no good?

care to review some more?

yours is 3.0E??got same prob when using CM cooler before..

if you are using 3.0E and wish to OC, your CM heatsink cant handle that. get something better like those from Thermalright, ZeroTherm or Noctua. You will find more option in Cooling/Modding Forum.
