I've got a Gigabyte 7VAXP mobo and a MSI KT4V mobo. from out of those two which one is the best for overcloking? I kept aside the msi after using thinking it got a prob cause everytime cpu temp load goes nearly to 60c but later i found that the gigabyte mobo doing the same. Anyway expecting the termaltake volcano 11+. but in the meantime i want to know which is the best mobo out of thos 2. all the comments are welcome.
:D

from what i hear, NEITHER msi or gigabyte is good for overclocking. i'd get something along the lines of the ABit NF7 v2.0 if you want to overclock.

After looking into it, I would say that both motherboards overclock about equally, but the Gigabyte seems to be more stable than the MSI (If you haven't had any stability problems, this isn't really a concern for you). However, the MSI is easier to overclock, as the Gigabyte adjusts the multiplier using dip switches located on the motherboard, while MSI has the multiplier adjustment built into the bios.

Yes that is a good board but the NF-7 is a better board
