Re-Considering Overclocking

[Nagasama]

i would have to agree that the dfi board is better, and a superb overclocker. the nf4 ultra chipset is definitely one of the best.
it is to s939 what the 590 is to am2.

Yeah the DFI lanparty UT Ultra-d is awsome I love it. Too bad it seems there are no more for sale. Maybe with enough looking around you may find one. If not look in to another board. The one you listed is not one of the best boards. Look at some others. Such as Asus,Abit,Msi Don't get a crappy board, you will regret it. Try looking at board at newegg.com and always read the revies. One good review is not good enough. Buy a board that has alot of great reviews.

Newegg.com - Open Box: ABIT KN8 Ultra Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra ATX AMD Motherboard - OEM

boo. ya.
i had a kn9 nf4 ultra (for am2), and it rocked. this is open box, tho...but only like 50 bucks. cant beat it.

well i just bought this one and i was suggested to get this one from the previous thread...so yeah.

I will be getting this tomorrow, so how bad is this board? i dead read almost all the reviews.

Im not trying to max the oc, i just want to get around 2.2 to 2.4 ghz.

 

[pshootr]

Yes that looks like a nice deal on a nice board. As long as new egg still warrenties this board, I would jump on it.

 

[krazyq]

well that board is out of stockm, so what luck can i get from my mobo?
i just want the basics.

 

[pshootr]

I didn't notice it was out of stock. Let me look around again. When you say quote:my board. Which board do you mean?

 

[pshootr]

Here is another board I would look at if I were you. GA-K8NUSLI-RH | Gigabyte Ga-K8n Pro Sli S.939 Mboard

And on ebay I found some DFI Lanparty UT Ultra-D boards. If you are serious about overclocking, then make sure you win the bid on one of these boards! eBay - lanparty ultra-d, Desktop Laptop Components, Computers Networking items on eBay.com

 

[krazyq]

well i just bought this new board. Look at the begining of this thread or here
Newegg.com - Foxconn NF4UK8AA-8EKRS Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail

i just bought this so i cant wait to return it.
how bad is this board for basic oc.
I read some reviews and they were not so bad.
But you guys do know more, and i did get this since i was suggested to get it.

Keep your cpu's vcore voltage at its default setting. Inrease your front side bus (FSB) a few mhz higher. save settings in bios and exit. Keep doing this untill your system becomes unstable. Then go back to the last stable FSB setting. This is a safe way to get you highest overclock without increasing your voltage. I do not recomment increasing the cpu's voltage untill you know atot more about your hardware specs. And other peoples experiances with the same hardware you are useing.

He's going to have to use RightMark and Orthos too you know. Can't just keep adding numbers until you think it's unstable.
