Okie my possible mobo choices for under £100:
Abit AB9 Pro
Asus P5B-E Plus
Asus P5N-E (650i chipset) (out of stock at scan)
and just out of my budget:
Gigabyte DS4
P5B-Deluxe - 124.86
AB9 Quad GT
Very tempted by the top three. Not too sure about the Abit as theres still some unclarity on whether they will release a BIOS update to support 1333fsb, and a little wary on the Asus P5N-E as I think it may have flakey memory support. Would the P5B-E Plus hit same FSBs at the Deluxe reason I ask is I'd prefer to save the money and the deluxe doesn't offer too much extra that I'd be after.
I'm hoping to pair the chosen mobo with 2GB OCZ Platinum 800Mhz that OCUK doing... hopefully that should get me 500 fsb?

9x500 would be 4.5GHz...
all you need for 3.6GHZ on an E4300 would be 400fsb.
If you really want to run 500fsb with that OCZ youll need to go with 650i.
There's also MSI's 650i in the shops now & abit's is supposedly due 7-10 days.
Ok. So say if I wanted to run 500fsb (by reducing the multiplier) on the 965 boards you reckon the OCZ won't hack it? would the corsair XMS C5 that Scan do hack it? (btw thanks for replying uber quick)
Arctic Freezer everytime...
Dont bother with anything else... Keeps my E6600 clocked as it is around mid 40's full load (using TAT) all for £15
you wont look back.
and the blue orb is freaking USELESS!!
the 965s afaik all run 1:1 or higher i.e. can't run RAM slower than CPU bus.Originally Posted by dbh
If you want to run 500fsb that means that you need RAM capable of DDR2 1000 (the OCZ Plat 800 is probably good for 900 or so).
from Scan that probably means http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=402850 if you're trying to keep the budget down.
OcUK have some OCZ going cheaper (£190) though at the moment.

Got any links to the MSI 650i's ? I don't think Scan has them. Listed as 680i and seems pricey for a 650i board if that is the case.
You can hit 4.5ghz on air? ...
Lol don't intend to hit 4.5Ghz I want to drop the multi down to 7x as I read that is possible, judging from the way people are laughing I guess Im missing something then
