    For a Slot 775 Pentium 4 processor, what board(s) offer(s) the most adjustability for overclocking. For example, has Voltage control, FSB control, Full Ram adjustability, Adjustable AGP/PCI Bus settings and you get the drift.
    I Know that theres a few good boards out there but it's so hard to find them, you only really whats a good board after you've bought it. I want All price ranges, trying keep it reasonable, with high priced and as low as you can go prices. I don't want to hear "don't get an Intel" just tell me about good motherboards.

    Any help will be bloody excellent!!!

    Thanks, Sloth_boy

    If I'm not mistaken, isn't it that the LGA775 boards have a 20% OC max on them or something?

    I've heard good things about the 3rd eye guru board for the 939 and I think 754 pin AMDs. Has anyone tried to OC on them? I'm interested in high overclocks and think I really like the instantly switchable OC settings.

    What's the "3rd Eye" mean in the name anyway?? I cant see any difference between them and the non 3rd eye versions... other than price.

    not LGA boards in general, just the 925 chipset

    for an LGA board id suggest having a look at an asus P5P800
    it uses the 865 chipset, so theres no added expense of under-performing DDR2 and it uses AGP graphics, which has a plus side and a minus side, depends on what card you want to go after

    and it overclocks like stink :thumb:

    As far as i understand it, it is a little lcd module that you sit on your case / monitor that displays frequencies/temps/stats etc, think you can change certain settings with it aswell
