What do ppl think of this mobo please? It's relatively cheap but does a high FSb and I want to OC.
Asrock P45TurboTwins2000, iP45, S 775, PCI-E 2.0 (x16), DDR2/DDR3 1333/1066, SATA II SATA RAID, ATX
The specs are quoted as:
1. LGA 775 for Intel® Core™ 2 Extreme / Core™ 2 Quad / Core™ 2 Duo / Pentium® Dual Core / Celeron®, supporting Penryn Quad Core Yorkfield and Dual Core Wolfdale processors
2. All Solid Capacitor design (100% Japan-made high-quality Conductive Polymer Capacitors)
3. Intel® P45 + ICH10 Chipsets
4. Compatible with FSB2000/1600/1333/1066/800 MHz
5. Supports Dual Channel DDR3 1333/1066 (4 x DIMM slots) with max. capacity up to 8GB and Dual Channel DDR2 1066/800/667 (2 x DIMM slots) with max. capacity up to 4GB
I understand it's good enough to overclock a 8500 to beyond 4GHz?
Why do the expensive x38 chipsets (which are supposedly able to OC well) only quote a FSB of 1333!
Why is this cheaper one able to do 2000?
Is ASRock a cheap make?
And so what if a mobo is cheap... if it meets certain specs should it matter?
Please help I'm totallyu confused as to how such a cheap mobo can do a higher FSB than much more expensive models
??????????????????????
