Overclocking LN2 Which Motherboard

[skippytheturtle]

Ok I am doing a project for school. I am going to buy a motherboard off ebay and donate it to my school. I have a P4 3.0 GHz, with HT.

 

I am looking for an extremely cheap motherboard for it (socket 775)

 

Looking at 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/151190641491?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

and 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/161176684891?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

 

yes i know both of these motherboards are really not so good, but leaning and teaching is important to me and thought this would help students understand (I am a student btw)

 

Please help me out

 

Also if you have a better motherboard that you would be willing to donate that would be great. I can pay shipping and what not

 

thank you so much, I really do appreciate it!

1st one seems better

 

BTW I always wondered what that pink connector is

I'd probably get the Asus one...

Need to fire up my 775 motherboard been a while since I had it running since it's a 790i.

I did as well.

 

Just searched it on Google, it's a Parallel connector.

Pink connector is parallel printer port. Ancient printers used it. If you thought stupid USB 3.0 header cables were stiff, try using one of those

 

thanks guyz

Well, I had an Asus P4P8X I got on eBay for 15 bucks years ago. I didn't understand very much about overclocks back then but I was still able to push it up to 4GHz. (It was a 3GHz P4 HT) I reckon that if I had the knowledge I do now, I could have gotten it much higher. (I had a really good heatsink)

 

EDIT: I didn't realize you were using the newer type of P4 with the pins on the motherboard. Go for the first one, it has an AGP slot.

First one is PCI-E

 

thanks so much!

Really? I thought PCI-E came in during the Core 2 Duo times. I have a C2D board in the basement that takes DDR1 and AGP..

 

EDIT: I just remembered that we also have a newer P4 board like that with PCI-E and DDR2.

This board i believe is DDR1 (have my fingers crossed) DDR2 IMHO kinda sucked, was not needed, was not adopted enough, and is still expensive compared to DDR1

Does anyone know the theoretical maximum an intel 630 could go on board number one?

 

Also anyone want to donate any equipment, does not matter what it is, I can pay shipping

Its tax season (USA) anyone need a tax write-off?

I have the copper heatsink that kept my old P4 really cool. Not sure if it'll fit the newer style motherboard you're getting though. I also have plenty of DDR1 RAM.

You need agood motherboard forln2 overclocking or it will just kill everything when it goes pop.

This should be rather exciting then!

well it won't, because i've killed a cpu before and its quite boring tbf. its cool for about 5 mins. then you realise you've basically got a brick. also if you not running high voltage your cpu is going to get too cold and freeze solid which will be very very boring and annoying.
