Overclockers

azrael811 · 08-03-04, 08:47 PM

Im looking at upgrading my system to the following:

3.2E (775 or 478)
1 gig DDR PC4000
X800pro (AGP or PCI-e)
2x raptor 36gb
2x 200gb SATA

Im hoping to OC to 3.6 - 3.8 with air. As there is little or no price difference between a X800 agp or PCI-e card and a 775 or 478 presscott I just want to know what ppl think is better out of 915 or 875 mobos for overclocking.

Also if I went with a 875 board I was going to get a Coolmaster hyper 7 but there doesnt seem to be any good coolers for 775.

Check out the article linked below. Their conclusion...well, I'll just let you read it.

But for the rest of you guys, they saw no need to rush out and get a new board. Seems like those 865PE and 875P boards hold their own pretty well.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but...

I was contemplating getting an X800 myself, until I started pricing them. Not that the price scared me away or anything. I couldn't find any AGP cards, just PCI-E ones. Unless they're just sitting on them for a while, you may be out of luck. =\
