Yup, you're right, sorry.
Didn't take a look at this option.

I did by now, but I'm still in no need of it.

er.....now how on earth did Bestia quote me!?!?!?!

1. i didn't post

2. i have no knowledge of such things!!!! hhahahhaa

damn imposters.

ZuePhok != goldfries

well anyways. how does one define stability? are 3rd party boards not stable at all? and how's the stability after OCing a P4 2.4c to 3ghz+++ ??

so what's the difference between the stability of using a 3rd party board vs stability of using Intel board? is there a limitation to the 3rd party board's stability?

Intel boards arent big on overclocking

BUt they are remarkably stable, for the simple reason that Intel developed their own platform. IN practice, this means that their boards which have their own chipsets, are always going to be alto more stable, because they know the technology inside out.

3rd party manufacturers will, no matter what they do, be trying to implement someone else's idea.

Which is why 'experimentation', if I may use the word, is mroe in evidence on 3rd party boards than Intel ones, expecially in regards to the feature set and overclocking potential.

3rd Party boards usually sacrifice a teeny weeny bit of reliability to bring increased features and also bette roverclockign performance

Not they are entirely unstable, no. My DFI ran solid for three weeks straight without me switching off my PC, and there wasnt a single crash. I played games, surfed, ran benchies, it was fine. There was only the odd hang here and there when i decided to so do my OC'ing project

Sounds like either your BIOS is unstable, or your CMOS battery is KO'd already.

goldfries · 1st Dec 2004, 04:43 PM

unstable BIOS? oh really wow.......

ok. but i mean when in normal usage and gaming usage - does it face any real instability?

zy · 1st Dec 2004, 05:13 PM

i dunno if batt. KO or not..

because @ first i got it, it is already like this

If you have a buggy BIOS, maybe? Who knows?
