hi there again i was thinking of upgarding my motherboard but was thinking was it worth it? i have a ecs kn1 extreme......when i first got the board i had a lot of problems with it ive now got around that the fans are a little noisey and overclocking on it is somewhat troublesome now ive been told that this is a good board but what do you all think im currently running a amd64,3000 and can only get it to 2.1gighrz should i be alble to get more from this or what? any help would be gratefull cheers big k

accordign to that, ur board aint that gd for overclockign from what i gather. If u are after another board, i suggest an Asus board -

A8N32-SLI Deluxe - http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=98337

or

ASUS A8N-SLI Premium - http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/98587

U can find the full specs on http://www.asustek.co.uk

If u've had tht gear for a while now tho, and you're planning to move to AM2 socket at some point, i'd suggest leaving the board for now until u do, then u can get a new mobo, cpu n memory, rather than buying slightly older technology now.

Hope this helps,

Roz

If I've helped you, add to my reputation in the top right (the picture of scales).

ECS/Elitegroup is about the worst in terms of motherboard quality.

On the other hand Roz is suggesting about the best nForce 4 motherboards money can buy :P A better match for that motherboard in terms of features would be the ASUS A8N-E.

It's also best if you purchase a motherboard locally; that way you can be better assured of technical support and warranty, not to mention it's better for the business and local economy in general.
