Four Socket 939 Motherboards Shootout!

[X2C]

I think the Soltek K8TPro-939 needed a bios upgrade to be a better contender.
It says in the review that it was running "BIOS Revision: W1.1"
I am running one of these boards and the new BIOS Revision: W1.3 has alot of fixes, alot to do with the memory.
Im running my 3200+ @ 267x9 and I'm not having a problem. Running SATA Raid as well & the lock seems to work just fine.

No point in listing them when they change within the week ;) just something temp :rolleyes:

Also it seems the new bios I was talking of wouldnt not have been out at the time of this review, so I am sorry. It does make a world of difference though :)

The A8V and Neo2 are real nice boards. If I didn't have this sexeh SN95G5 those would be the 2 options I'd be looking at :)

[Wibber]

how far did you get the neo 2 running hans?

For the Nvidia boards, SATA lock seems to work only on the ports near the CPU socket. The SATA ports near the 250Ultra chipset have a much lower tolerance on FSB overclockingGood to know...

Yeah on that MSI board the top 2 SATA ports are locked but the bottom 2 are unlocked so your kindda stuck at around 220FSB :( only if your using the bottom 2 though :)

For the Neo2,

Depending on your BIOS version, HDD uses, etc, you may be able to get to 240MHz even with SATA1 and SATA2 plugs.

We've got a review of the K8N Diamond SLI coming up soon.
