ASUS motherboard equals crap overclocking? - 2005/09/01 19:22
Hi everyone, just want to find out if anyone has the same issue as I do. The thing is that my GeForce 6800 GT doesn't overclock very well in my ASUS P4P800 motherboard. It doesn't even reach Ultra speeds. I know that some of you are thinking that's normal, it depends on the sample. I thought the same but here is the weird part.
I had a temporary board installed, a Gigabyte 8IPE1000 Pro2 and I can overclock my graphics card way more (like 450/1200MHz). Everything else in the PC is exactly the same, just the board was changed. If you are wondering why I replaced the board it was to RMA it... Hang on, I ain't done yet.
I got the board back, it was a replacement (not a fix) but it was still doing the same thing, barely above stock overclock. So here is my question...wtf?! Is the ASUS P4P800 known to be a crap graphics card overclocker? I know they aren't very CPU overclock friendly (needing droop mods etc)... Cheers!
