MSi Neo Vrs Asus P4C800 D.

[super_si]

Whats the difference?

One works in the Prometeia, the other doesnt :rolleyes:

[Major]

super_si, I'm not sure which one if either works properly with the promie mach I. I have both a MSI Neo and a promie coming next week. I will be testing both the IC7-G and the MSI Neo in the promie, and possibly buying another P4C800 as well. I will certainly post some results.

The P4C800 seems to be the most overclockable CW mb right now. The MSI has some great options in the bios for voltages, but I think the bios isn't quite up to speed yet.

hehehe major you got the 875p?

[Major]

Yep, I bought MrIcee's to play with ! hehe

I sold all of my AMD stuff, so I'm going to use the better of my CW mb's in the vapochill and promie, and then put whatever doesn't perform as well in my son's Koolance.

Does the MSI Neo work with the prommie startup/reset? The P4C800 doesnt. :/

Yes the MSI works with MachI for some strange reason.

Thats good to hear, now if only that damn board could run at user defined timings. :P

IC7 and p4c800 dont hold the reset on the Prometeia Mach I. :)

There is a way round it though :)

You can use user defined timings with this bios

Wasn't this the "board killer" bios? Is there some setting I have to disable before flashing this?

Thanks for saving it btw!

That was the 1.4 bios they had up.

A while back I saw a MSI Neo 875P on Newegg refurbished for $89...I thought about it, should have pulled the trigger. Sometimes I like to try hardware that others haven't had great luck with. It's a challenge.

I found the Asus way of getting round it was to much work because ive got about 10cm space down the side my case to play with.

MSI works perfect, just cant get over 160 fsb :( damm cpu
