LGA775 Dual Core board?
Need help with LGA775 Motherboard for extreme overclocking.
I'm getting my replacement Intel Core 2 Duo E8700 back tomorrow. I already have a volt modded Asus Commando, but overclocking dual cores on that board will require some hilarious fast DDR2, since you can't change ratios. I can get Asus Rampage x48 for 225$ New. They are normally 308$ in Norway. I doubt my core i7 DDR3 stick will do any good on it, so then I will need some new DDR3, which can be expensive. So going with a good LGA 775 board which supports DDR2 and good overclockability would be perfect. Since I started overclocking around 7 months ago, I was never on the 775 platform, I jumped straight to 1366. So I can't say which boards are good and not. I've only been playing with my Asus Commando and Celerons. But I've seen Gigabyte and Asus have had a lot of good LGA775 boards. I need a list what to look for, I want some good boards, cause 10.5 x MP will require pretty high FSB.http://www.overclock.net/images/smilies/smile.gif *PS: Don't link me some Nvidia chipset boardhttp://www.overclock.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif Best Regards Kriztoffer |
Best 775 board Ive ever had was the ep45c-ud3r 650fsb on stock northbrige cooler, takes ddr2 or ddr3 and loved my 2x1gb kit of hypers. This ud3lr is looking to be a good one though as well. Nice and cheap!
All stock MB voltages, put chip to 1.25vcore (no reason just though 1.1v was incredibly low lol) http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1085156 Has yet to fail |
Sounds nice! how low VID does your E8700 got?

One of our internetstores in norway got Demo used hardware: the site is mainly in Norwegian, but specs and names are in English.

I've been looking at that x38 board for a while, it seems decent. and got a good price:)
|
X48 Rampage Extreme FTW.
|
I'm worried about DDR3, will my GT's run it?
|
Yes GT's will be awesome in it. 6-7-6 or even 6-6-6
|
So I can run them at rated speeds? 2000mhz @ 1.65v?
