what good mATX board to OC with?

WhiteFireDragon · 04-28-2008, 12:07 AM

i know almost nothing about micro ATX boards because all the good chipsets are on the standard sized ones. with that said, which current mATX has features of changing FSB, multiplier, and voltages of cpu, ram, and NB with stability? and which chipsets on these boards are good?

is that from personal experience or you're guessing?

oh yeah and this will be for an e2160 having a OC goal of 3.0ghz

Well, mine does that, but it's probably not what you're looking for. Only two RAM slots and no dual-channel.

And, it's an nVidia chipset, which I understand people think is bad or something?

In any case, it'll take my E2160 to 3.0 with no voltage increase, with the RAM and CPU set to unlinked.

This is it:

wow you're able to do that on stock voltages? does that mobo still have the option to increase voltages if needed because not all CPU batches have that same potential
