gonna be running a 531 p4 ... ???

got no idea nowdays .. it all moves tooo fast

cheers

 

*Please see FAQ for Intel Pentium D processor support limitation.

Nuff said

 

eh ??? the 531 isn't a D is it ???

 

No, but the old chestnut of certain processor's working with certain boards has not gone away.

It's a decent spec m8, is it not overkill for what you use it for ? If I had that, i would fill it with 8 gig of ram, and 2 mega fast graphics cards

 

looking for video editing / writing and possibly playing some games on my sony 21" widescreen .. so need a descent spec machine really..
im looking for summit that will last me for a couple of years too

 

Take my advice, stay away from GigaByte motherboards... the newest ones have "SMART" cpu fan systems which slow the fan and turn it off according to the CPU heat unfortunatly its crap and is only good for frying you CPU, ive sold 3 of the recent Gigabyte boards and all of them had that problem :S

 

not really a problem for me .. i have gone heat pipe and external fan

 

Fuck me sideways

 

i know .. it was fun trying to sit there as it kept falling over need to rotate it 90 degrees so the case fan pulls out aswell its bigger than stu's the vanes are a 120mm cube only just fits in the case

 

Them shonky p4's need all the cooling they can get

 

true ...

so can someone recomend me a nice board for a P4 531 chip then ..
