Craig Campanaro van Planet Hardware heeft eens gekeken naar de MSI MS-6337 Pro moederplaat gebaseerd op Intels i815e chipset. Naast een goede lay-out en stabiliteit kun je met dit plankje ook redelijk overklokken vanuit a) Windows met het Fuzzy Logic 2 proggie of b) via het uitgebreide BIOS die FSB stappen van 1MHz tot 166MHz ondersteunt. Het voltage kun je tot en met 1.95v instellen:
As if the Fuzzy Logic 2 program weren't enough, the MS-6337 has a detailed BIOS section devoted to adjusting the voltage and front side bus speed of the CPU. 1MHz FSB increments are available for use from 66 to 166MHz, and voltage ranges of 1.3 to 1.95v are selectable. For the most part the MS-6337 exceeded our expectations when overclocking the board, running our unlocked Intel Engineering Sample CPUs at front side bus speeds up to 160MHz without failure. This pales slightly compared to the 166MHz mastery shown by our ASUS CUSL2 i815e mainboard, but is superior to the ABIT SE6's maximum of 150MHz that we recorded during that board's testing.
Regardless, each mainboard is likely to be slightly different from one to the next, and your overclocking ability may vary from what we've witnessed and reported here. In general though we'd expect most ASUS, ABIT, MSI, and AOpen mainboards to be solid overclocking platforms thanks to the good experiences we've had with dozens of products we've tested from these companies over the past three years.
