Gigabyte 8KNXP overclocking results
I am considering switching from an Asus P4C800E-Dlx (which is a great mobo that I love) to a Gigabye 8KNXP, for the sole reason that it's one of the only i875 mobos that I know that uses holes for the Northbridge cooling solution. (it's also very cool looking with all those colors! and the 6-phase power stage looks interesting)
ya see, I'm trying to spec out a nice watercooling setup and getting a good NB block that can attach securely with those dumb little clips that 99% of the i875 boards use seems like a difficult task.
Can any peeps who have gotten good/bad OC's out of the 8KNXP report back here and let me know the good/bad/ugly of it? I need a board that can be stable at 290-300 fsb, and I've heard (anecdotally) that this board doesn't OC too well and is particularly finicky when it comes to using dividers on your RAM. True?
thanks
