What mobo is a overclockers wet dream under £200 ?

jolie77 · 18 Mar 2009 at 16:03

I was just thinking of going 775 mobo but i7 Mobo`s arnt priced to far behind them.

Any way All I am after is crossfire and something that is amazing at overclocking for under £200 maybe a little more

Thanks !!

do you have a 775 chip already?

jolie77 · 18 Mar 2009 at 16:38

yes mate Q6600

Asus p5q deluxe p45,

Awesome overclocking board. It will run crossfire at x8 in both slots (older x48 has 2 x16 pcie lanes) Great board with a q6600, ive had one since release and have never had an issue with it.

Hmm for a 775 I wouldn't be buying a £200 mobo... seems like a waste considering there are MANY ones around £100 that OC like the shizzle. £200 is good X58 territory...

Yup, spending £200 on a socket 775 mobo is way over the top, but then spending £200 on an i7 mobo isn't going to buy a jizzable board either.

Beg to differ, Asus P6T non deluxe is very capable oc'er.

He didt say the Asus was't capable he said jizzable and i would tend to agree

sorn21 · 18 Mar 2009 at 22:51

the OP already has the chip otherwise I would have steered him towards the X58.
the Asus is a very capable board mate

Just make sure if you go for a P6T Deluxe you DON'T get the new V2 release as it is the same as the V1 but with bits removed to save costs. NOT an upgrade in any way shape or form

The basic P5Q P45 ought to be good enough. That or the Biostar T-power.

jolie77 · 19 Mar 2009 at 14:07

Notice the Asus P5Q Deluxe Intel P45 says it runs crossfire at 8x speed, does that mean 2x 4870x2 will run they are meant to in cossfire ?

8x pci-e slots are not a good idea for a pair of X2's. The 8x lanes will strangle them. You want a X38/X48 chipset board for full speed pci-e lanes. My old Asus P5E got a Q6600 to 3.8Ghz easily. My current DFI seem's to be a good clocker too from what i have tried so far.
