nForce?

kinkstr · 2005-01-26 01:12:48

Could someone explain to me what exactly nForce means, and what advantages does it have?

nForce is one of the 2 possible chipsets for an AMD motherboard to have.
The VIA chipsets are generally a bit cheaper and are supposed to be rock solid at stock speeds. nForce chipsets are a little dearer but the only way to go if you want to overclock.

Via arent that bad for overclocking either, i wouldnt say nforce are the "only" way to go for overclocking

Yeah, youre right there gline. Just meant in general.

Of course you would say that with a VIA board in your rig

True but my last mobo was nforce, i think they are both equally ok for overclocking if you now how to get the max out of ur cpu and memory etc

Nforce support much higher FSBs so an unlocked chip means lower the multiplier and raise the FSB to get the same speed so not really overclocking

The nForce Ultra motherboards at the moment aren't great for ocing at all. Lots of them seem to be locked at 233

Not 2, it is 4 and not chipsets but more generations. I should know cause I had the original nforce chipset (420 not 415) on my MSI mobo years ago :cool:

Well yeah, but for the inexperienced it's effectively 2. Either a VIA solution or an AMD solution. Didn't wanna inundate the fella with a load of detail if he wasnte even sure what nForce was in the first place.
