Which 8RDA?

[Assimilator87]

There are a lot of of 8RDA motherboards and I have narrowed down the choices to:<BR>8RDAEN (Nforce 2 400)<BR><BR>8RDA3+ (Nforce 2 SPP)<BR><BR>8RDA3G (Nforce 2 SPP)<BR><BR>Anyone know which is better for OCing? Plz tell me if none of these is the best OCing 8RDA.<BR><BR>Thanks everyone

I believe the board you are looking for is the Epox 8RDA3+. This too is an nForce 2 Ultra 400 board. It's the same as the Epox 8RDA+ that most of us have, just with the newest nForce 2 chipset.

I believe the 3+ version adds SATA RAID to the original board. I am seriously thinking about picking one up to replace my SOYO at the moment.

Assimilator87 it's difficult to say which board will overclock higher as it's always luck of the draw. <BR><BR>Of the boards you listed though technically speaking the 8RDAEN should overclock the best as you're getting a guarenteed nForce2 with C1 Northbridge. Whatever board you get make sure you replace the stock northbridge heatsink with something better as the stock one is garbage!

Everyday I look at it, and and temped to buy it, but I just can't justify it yet, as I don't know when I'm going to need my next board for the newer AMD/Intel processors.

I know.....the main purpose of my rig is for online gaming.....I can run everything w/ the highest resolutions, with all the details on, with no problem. The only thing that bites is waiting for games to load....a faster HD would definetly help that.
