The DS3 has all-solid capacitors. They'll last longer, and may possibly give you a little more edge on overclocking. If it were me, I'd get the DS3, seeming as it's only a $10 difference.

You're welcome. If you need any help with overclocking, don't hesitate to ask (I've got the DS3).

You had to post a thread for $10... Dude.. That's sad... Really, really sad...

lol

The DS3 is the monster that has the reputation for overclocking. You might have to skip that six pack, but it should be worth it if it lives up to it's reputation.

Have you even researched the term, "Overclocking"? I would recommend you read the OC 101. That'll explain everything you need to know.

When I said I'll help you overclock, I meant specifically to that board. I have first hand experience with it, so I know a few things about it. I'm not saying I know it all (lol, far from it), but I can help.

whatever is making you mad these past few days, just stop taking it out on the forum. Maybe some people are actually tight on cash and the $10 makes a difference to them. Don't bother responding.

Either one overclocks about the same. I don't think the solid caps make any difference other than they last longer.
