Hi guys,
My name is Adam and I'm happy to be here 😀
On the beginning I would like to apologize for my grammar and English, well it's not so good.
I just looked around here and wasn't able to find any post which can present a list of MOBOs with included functionality mentioned in the topic.
Therefore I want try to create a list of these. I know there is a lot of famous MOBOS like ASUS P5a, Gigabyte GA-5AX etc. but i believe there is also a few of them which are not so famous and maybe there is a lot of peoples who do not know about them.
I'm a good example. Some time ago I bought MOBO called: PCPartner MVP3BS7-954 also known as a SuperGrace SG-MVP3A5 and few others.
Quite by accident, I discovered that this board has the ability to overclock the FSB above the standard 100MHz. My surprise was even greater because it is not documented in User Manual and this is a board based on the VIA Apollo MVP3 chipset. Until now, I thought that SS7 overclocking was only possible on boards with the ALADDIN chipset
By accident i set jumpers in wrong combination - like I said in combination which is not documented in User Manual. And my K6-2+ CPU has been recognized as 336MHz. That was strange for me because multiplier of the CPU I have set on 3x. I was wondering from where he took this 336... In the system CPU-Z explain me everything and I just seen FSB: 112 MHz... That was a huge surprise for me.
Hence the idea to create such a list. The above-mentioned famous MOBOs are not only expensive, but unfortunately difficult to obtain. Therefore, it would be good to have a list of the less known ones as well. I bought the PCPAtner board I mentioned for 1/4 of the price of, for example, ASUS P5A-B. So I guess this post makes sense. To confirm what I wrote here, below are screenshot from the CPU-Z program and the mentioned PCPAtner board.
If you guys have any idea or known MOBOs with similar possibility like this PCPartner MVP3BS7-954 please post that in the comments. If you have also any technical documentation howto reach higher FSB on these MOBOs would be great to put these here as well.
Best regards
Adam
