Default Socket 462 buying questions...

so 2 of the people i work with are selling there socket 462 motherbaords and i kinda need one for overclock all that chips i have laying around so here is what they got...

option 1
Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe

option 2
Abit NF7

(not sure if is the NF7 OR the NF7-S)

i been reading on the bot and seems like the Abit AN7 is the winner over the Asus..
is there any other recommendation you guys got or should i go with one of those two..

http://hwbot.org/hardware/chipset/nforce_2_ultra_400


here is the chips i monna be looking at overclocking.. (i monna be taking those things SUBZERO!)
AXDA3000DKV3E <- that's the chip i am really gonna be overclocking (unless i should be overclocking an different one then PLEASE tell me!)
AXDA3000DKV4D <- this is gonna be the chip i monna practice on before i get in to AXDA3000DKV3E
AXDA2600DKV3D <- this is another chip i monna be practice on before i get in to AXDA3000DKV4D
AX1800DMT3C <- this is like the first chip i monna be "practice" on i never REALLY overclocked a 462 chip before.. have no idea how well they handle... if i smoke it i smoked it...
AX1900DMT3C <- this is like the thing i monna be playing with right after AX1800DMT3C

i should have another chip coming on my way.. should be another 3000+

oh yeah and the Abit board may be a little easier for me to get but if the Asus one is better i am sure i can put my hands on it no matter what.. =)

As with all hardware, especially used hardware, it is a tough call.. You never know which of them will be "the gem" and which will suck. Grab them both if you can and try both out. The trick is to find the one that will reach a higher bus speed on the same chip. In there lies your answer.

well, they seem to net about the same points on the bot. No globals to be had with them, so they are all going to be pretty much equal on the points end of things.

Start with the lowest freq chip to get the feel of the board, then work your way up to the higher grade chips. Keep an eye on the rankings per chip as you bench to give you a guide line of where you need to be on each, and you can't go wrong.

It would be wise to consult Mr Scott on these matters...from my experience it is the hardest overclocking you will ever do.
