What's wrong with the Asrock ConroeXFire-eSATA2?

man_from_uncle · 28 Sep 2006 at 12:33

It appears to have core 2 and crossfire support as well as a load of RAID options. Is there any reason for a non-overclocker (not me, a friend) not to go for this board? It just seems too cheap to be true.

If there is a problem though, what crossfire + core 2 board would people recommend? Thanks.

Thanks,

Uncle

PS He did have the MSI board, but the RAID controller was knackered and he sent it back. He doesn't want to use that board again.

Built a system with one of these in for my m8 who also doesnt do overclocking ,was easy as pie to install and runs rock solid no problems at all kinda made me wonder whay i paid double for a 965 board but obviously i do like to overclock.
Great value for money board imo

hi

how far could u push a 6300 on one of these boards?

Hasn't it got a max 300FSB?

Yes, it maxes out 300FSB, so you're looking at turning a 6300 into a 6400.
