DS3 or DS4 - better for OC'ing

Brian The Snail · 22 Nov 2006 at 15:06

My DS3 has been RMA'd to another company and I shouldn't expect it back before at least Wednesday next week because they don't have any more in stock. However, they do have some DS4's and I may be able to get one of these before the weekend should I move quickly.

I know the spec. differences between the DS3 and the DS4 but which would be better for OC'ing my E6300 and 2GB G.Skill HZ.

Do I just wait it out or go for the DS4?

Many, many thanks.
Andy.

I did search the forum honest but it's so busy I didn't go back far enough. I went back 5 pages and was just getting into October. Should have gone back further.

Sorry peeps.

Can I vote for an 'embarrased' icon? I need one.

Hi Big Wayne.

Have a look here for a side by side comparrison of the two. (<< link to Gigabyte website comparrison page)

I'm still a noobie but to me the reports of the DS3 and DS4 both have them down as excellent boards, with the DS4 edging out in front - but only just and that may not be enough to justify the extra cost.

Hope which ever one you choose serves you well.
