1333 FSB Mod, Confirmed To Be Working By Me.

[__Miguel_]

Hi. Asrock is the subsidiary company of Asus. My co-worker and I sell computer and we had sold about 30 computers with Asus-boards some time ago. It doesn´t took long and a lot of boards (more than 20; not all the same model) died. Also some Asrock boards we sold died.

Well, that surely sucks big time... I've had some bad luck with an Asus board as well, but I have a P4P800-VM still going on to this day; also, I've had a 775i945GZ suffer a short-circuit (connected an HDD the wrong way), and appart from the HDD and a memory stick blowing up, the board is perpectly fine.

I believe Asus and ASRock make very sturdy boards today, so I'd ask you to please take another look at them.

As for DFI boards, the BSEL mod is really not necessary for them, as it isn't necessary for OC, not even for strap changing, in some cases...

Cheers.

Sure I know that the Mod isn´t necessary to OC a low end CPU when I use a DFI board. I want to see if I can push the CPU to 1333MHz without the help of a good OC board. Like I sayd its just for the fun of doint it .

I've had some bad luck with an Asus board as well, but I have a P4P800-VM still going on to this day;

I also had a P4P800-VM in my media pc. It killed 2 Kingston RAMs. My Mom has a P4P-800SE and everything is fine until now. My dad has the the second Asus board in his computer after what? The first on died! But now it seems that the second one (Asus P4P800 Dlx) will also die. The NIC already has died on this board an an now it doesn´t find the DVD-ROM drives

Maybe I let him buy an E2180
