Asus M4a78 Plus Motherboard Unboxing Part 2

[smilie120]

I'm thinking of buying this board from my next rig, seems a pretty decent price. Would you recommend this?

[Cri354]

Can i instal a AMD Athlon II X4 620 Quad Core + a Nvidia GTS 250 on it?

[lorenzol1996]

@Cri354 only AM2+ and AM3 chips work on this

@lorenzol1996

k, thx for the quick reply

[multimodder]

what is pc2 ?

[lorenzol1996]

@multimodder PC3 is triple channel- meaning three sticks a channel- ram is in triples (groups of three). PC2 is 2-channel- meaning pairs of slots

[multimodder]

aah ok that´s not my matter 6gb ram is overkill because no game need more than 3 gb of ram to run pretty well

[multimodder]

dude please answer very fast i want to buy tomorrow this mainboard but i want to install cythe mugen 2 cpu cooler do i need to remove the orginal backplate and is the garantie away ?

[lorenzol1996]

Modifying the board in any way will void the warranty. As long as it is a standard clip it will fit,

[multimodder]

does this mainboard support 4096MB OCZ PC3-12800 CL8 Gold AMD Edition Kit ??????

[lorenzol1996]

@multimodder this board only supports pc2

[pvpatel89]

have you tried over clocking it ...???

What processor you use i mean wt number ??

[lorenzol1996]

I tried overclocking the buses and CPU... put them back to defaults because it got about 40C... put it back down so it's 20C.. anyways, I use a 2.9 Dual Core

Thanks for the videos, I was thinking of buying this for my first build. Is it good?

[lorenzol1996]

Very good. I've been using it for about three months now. One tip: don't use a magnetic screwdriver. I used one by accident... it wasn't obvious, but it had a slight magnetic touch, which fried a PCI slot

[SiLeNtXaViOr]

Okay thanks for info. I'll try to avoid a magnetic then!
