| Many gamers wonder how they can get a | | | | Overclocking overloads the CPU and that would |
| motherboard that would has a favorable game | | | | make it at risk. Try to nit this sort of risks in the |
| result. It is no other than 3D games that are so | | | | bud, motherboard makers are competing against |
| demanding on performance and consumes so | | | | each other to launch their new technology such as |
| much system resource. When purchasing a | | | | ASUS AI Overclocking and C.P.R overclocking |
| gaming motherboard we have to take several | | | | protection tool, etc. |
| factors into consideration. | | | | Expansibility |
| The Printed Circuit Board (PCB) on the | | | | Game’s requirement for hardware is |
| motherboard | | | | advanced with times. Currently, NF4 SLI |
| As the prerequisite for a stable operation of a | | | | motherboard has a strong expansibility which can |
| motherboard, the layout of PCB traces and | | | | support all functions of the dominant products, |
| various types of electronic components is very | | | | players can add a SLI video card to further its 3D |
| important. Considering the shield of PCB lines and | | | | graphics performance or upgrade to ATHLON64 |
| signals interference, nice traces should let all the | | | | X2 dual-core processors depending on their needs |
| lines on the PCB board distribute uniformly. | | | | in the future. |
| A best motherboard should use a 6-layer PCB | | | | Multi-channel capability |
| board with steady color, smooth finish as well as | | | | As a motherboard targeting the game market, it |
| neat welding and regular arrays of all parts, or | | | | should indispensably compose a superior audio |
| else instability and faults would frequently occurs | | | | system. DOOM3 brings you to a breathing scene |
| when overclocking the motherboard. | | | | that already on a par with home theatre. If you |
| Supply circuit | | | | are using a 5.1 audio system, after making full use |
| A good few gamers prefer high-frequent and | | | | of it, I believe you will have a fire-new DOOM3: |
| high-powered CPU, which would consume lots of | | | | monsters come to you and howl from all |
| energy even when working in the default | | | | directions --- as DOOM3 positions audio extremely |
| frequency, let alone overclocking. For example, | | | | accurately, players only need to target where |
| the maximum current of present Prescott core | | | | sounds from and fire. It can be said that your |
| P4 has already reached 91A, power consumption | | | | game is not a perfect one when the surround |
| is close to or over 100W. Thus you need a | | | | sound in DOOMS is disabled! Fortunately, |
| motherboard that can supply enough power and | | | | nowadays gaming motherboards are able to |
| stable voltage to ensure a smooth system. | | | | support six or eight-channel outputs and High |
| Motherboard overclocking | | | | Definition Audio, what we need is to buy a |
| Presently a great many motherboard | | | | Speaker over the 5.1 standard. |
| manufacturers have done quite a lot of | | | | Taking all the above factors together, |
| user-friendly overclocking researches for their | | | | motherboard among Intel P43 series like ASUS |
| products. Famous brands like Intel, ASUS and | | | | P5QL PRO, AUSU P5QL or MSI P43T-C51 will be a |
| GIGABYTE etc, generally will offer hard jumpers, | | | | good choice. |
| BIOS settings combining with specific overclocking | | | | Want to fix your motherboard driver problems? |
| software, which have make your overclocking | | | | Why not download a driver update tool to help |
| much simpler. | | | | you? |
