MicroATX motherboards are unfortunately often less overclockable than ATX boards and are partially a nightmare regarding the overclock options. The Test of the current Foxconn WinFast MCP61SM2MA-ERS2H motherboard will clarify, whether this inexpensive board is an exception. Moreover the Review shows, whether the integrated GF6100 onBoard graphics solution is fast enough for current 3D games and if the board also has enough features to satisfy power users.
Two 16x PCI express Slots, four DDR2-800 Slots up to 8 GB memory, six S-ATA II ports, ten USB 2.0 ports, two 1 Gigabit LAN connectors and wonderful OC features is not my list of wishes for Christmas, but rather the excellent equipment of the new Foxconn C51XEM2AA-8EKRS2H Socket AM2 motherboard. Without anticipating the result, this Socket AM2 board is a dream for overclocker, because this mainboard has as many OC options, that it would be possible to write dozens … Continue reading Foxconn C51XEM2AA-8EKRS2H nForce 590 SLI AMD Socket AM2 Motherboard OC Review

Today there’s finally again a new interactive T-Bred and Barton painting guide, with which it’s possible to ‘help’ the processor to another FSB. Mainboards gets the default FSB and the divisor for e.g. AGP, pci, etc. devices by detecting the FSB ID of the CPU. This FSB ID is considered in the new T-Bred and Barton painting guide version 2.3 to fool the mainboard another FSB. This can be partially very important if you like to overclock your system and … Continue reading Interactive AMD T-Bred and AMD Barton painting guide

Today I would like to present a completely special nForce2 chipset based mainboard. The SOLTEK SL-75FRN2-RL compared to more than 20 tested mainboards is a real tough competitor and clearly reaches the top past all mainboards tested in overclocking. With changeable VDD, VDIMM, Vcore, multiplier, FSB, AGP bus and many other options the SL-75FRN2-RL offers as standard. Before I continue, I would like to let the readers know that the SOLTEK SL-75FRN2-RL won the Overclocking Dream Award 12/2003.
The Albatron K8X800 pro has at present a price of approx. of 70 euro (02/2005) and is thereby appropriate in the good centre of the 754 Mainboards. However the equipment and the overclock features aren’t in the centre zone, because large variety at different voltage adjustments are found neither on one of the reviewed SocketA Mainboards, nor on the so far tested Socket 754 Mainboards.
The EPoX 9NPA+ SLI Socket 939 PCI express motherboard offers in addition to the two 16x PCIe SLI video card slots even three PCI card slots. And in spite of the original chipset voltage this board was overclocked to a HT reference clock of 330 MHz, so also processors with locked multiplier are able to reach a real good frequency. There’re many reasons why this EPoX motherboard got the OverClocking Dream Award, so you shouldn’t miss out on.
