well, they seem to net about the same points on the bot. No globals to be had with them, so they are all going to be pretty much equal on the points end of things.

Start with the lowest freq chip to get the feel of the board, then work your way up to the higher grade chips. Keep an eye on the rankings per chip as you bench to give you a guide line of where you need to be on each, and you can't go wrong.

i saw that on the bot too!
http://hwbot.org/hardware/motherboard/nf7_s
NF7-S is like one of the best of the best comes to overclocking and hitting cups wise..
and the NF7 is not too bad..

and the Asus one is kinda just like in it's own world.....

watching the bot? GOT IT!

BTW me and a few friends are gonna try hunt down one of those A-Team Van and play with it lol

Yes! that van is win... I might have to find one stock somewhere and create my own for next summer's project.

It would be wise to consult Mr Scott on these matters...from my experience it is the hardest overclocking you will ever do.

who is mr Scott?
that's what i really love!
the hardest overclocking i'll ever do..

(just wanna ask... why is that the hardest? that's actuelly what i started with but never got really in to it... i had a soyo board that i can no longer find no more )

[Mr.Scott]

I don't think it's that hard. It's just time consuming. It's not like the new stuff where you stroke a couple keys in the bios and you're done. You have to work each chip you OC within there own personality's. They all like different things.
It's mostly in the combination of components you put together. This is where doing your homework pays off. I'll try to condense it a little to get you started.
First, the boards you'll want to look for are AN7, NF7(S), DFI Ultra B, Epox 8RDA. Any of those boards will provide the high FSB you're gonna need. Second, start looking for ram right now. 1 gig or less kits with timings of 2-2-2-x. BH-5 or TCCD chips are what you want to look for. Ram is critical for socket A's because you NEVER, EVER, want to run anything other than a 1:1 ratio. It just kills performance.
Third, a good high performance modded bios for whatever board you wind up with. Fortunately for you, you know somebody with a modded bios library a few hundred deep for most boards on most older platforms. Who, you ask?.......That would be me.
Fourth is a tip: Less multi and more FSB is always better. Tighter timings are always better.
Put something together and give it a shot. I'll help you. Rick tried socket A, ask him how it went. It's not as easy as everybody thinks. Definitely more satisfying than my newer platforms.
I'll answer any questions you might have......or at least try to. You guys are always welcome to come to CP for pointers. I'll take care of you.
