Motherboard upgrade question!

Vidar · 1 Dec 2009 at 14:57

Hi Guys,

I have the Foxconn Renaissance Intel X58 (Socket 1366) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard and have had it for 6 months. I always wanted to get the Asus Rampage II Extreme Intel X58 (Socket 1366) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard but was on a tight budget at the time and couldnt hold off for a new system any longer.... (My old was beyond ecenomical repair after an accident)

My question is if I was to change boards to the Asus Rampage II Extreme, other than for merely overclocking features what sort of difference in my system am I likely to see if any?

Shameless bump

Suggests you do a side by side comparison of the features.

Thank you, I have and obviously the Rampage Extreme has many more features but will I see a gain in system performance if left in stock configuration?

Prehaps better score in memory tests and transfer rates however not that you'll really notice it i'd imagine

How about overall with overclocking, will it be more stable at higher overclocks?
