Hi all,

What Motherboard do you plan on using when you make the jump to Conroe?

Lots of different opinions

Looks like it could be worth waiting untill its all released.

How does the Asrock (with adapter) look? Is the adapter likely to cause any slowdown when compared to a full support AM2 board?

Yeo they are and i have all 3 of there model coming

Infinty
590
ATi chipset (very early es)

Bad axe has a newer bios now, allwos much more tweaking and 500FSB. By the way it does work. But i maxed that already and have been using softmods and hard more to go past it, hehehe

Asus is the best so far it seams

Msi have been added to the site and are a big fan with Coolare @ Xs

All bords need a mod on them. The Vcore/vdropp ether or will be needed sadly

Looks like I'd have to wait for Conroe release and hope our *Ahem*test subjects*ahem* can show us which Mobo for the best Stable Volt, overclock and functionality for Conroe.

I'm actually routing for the Intel Badaxe, because it looks nice and it's slightly cheaper than the Asus's Wifi thingie edition.

MSI are good boards, but poor for overclocking

Is that the Bad Axe on OcUK now?

Jimbo · 1 Jul 2006 at 09:36

I like the look of the Asus board it has everything on it. Only thing is it only has one ide port, like the badaxe and I wanted 2.

Does it have onboard wireless G as well? does anyone know? then I could bin my netgear pci card.
