Best Amd Athlon 64 X2 mother board

galwaydude18 · 01-11-2005 10:51PM #1

As the title says what is the very best and most overclockable mother board for an Amd Athlon 64 X2? I am going building a dual core rig very soon! I will buying everything bit by bit! I already have a deal going with Jammer for the case! Hope to have it by the close of the week.

Anyhow I would like to hear what is the mother board for an Amd Athlon 64
X2 because I will need to save up for it! Any recommendations on what would be the best setup for a danger den water cooling setup as well? I need to start getting prices for all this and start saving and buying bit by bit up to the new year!

Thanks in advance!:)

Best overclocking mobo is the DFI Lanparty nF4 series. Go for whichever suits you, e.g Ultra D = no SLI, 4 SATA; SLI-D = SLI, 4 SATA; SLI-DR = SLI, 8 SATA

I have a brand new Danger Den Maze4 CPU block and cylinder res that I will sell for cost if you want them - it's a start. I intended to use them on my system which is now broken up and sold off

I'd be looking for >= E60 for them. No tubing inlcuded, 1/2" fittings.

Jammer, I'll let galwaydude18 decide first.
Might even put up a thread on the FS forum if there is interest.

galwaydude18 · 01-11-2005 11:42PM

Ya id be interested but it would be at least two weeks until I could pay for it so it's up to you what you want to do wizzard! Any thoughts on the mb I put a link up to?

should be fine for overclocking an X2 with latest bios installed

I hate danger den res. I have one and the bastard took nearly a day to stop leaking.

The Maze4 is a nice block I was impressed with the one I used.

I've got a spare DD dual floppy bay res if anyone wants it. Come to think of it I've a whole cpu, gfx and dual 120mm rad with push pull panaflos lying spare but it's modded into a P160

Haven't used it yet, but the previous one I had never leaked. PM sent with details anyways.

The Epox NF4 boards are excellent overclockers and cheap too.
