The quest for the perfect motherboard begins

[OverclockingAddict]

Must Include:

440BX
Slot 1 SECC2 support
Alterable VIO
1.95V option for P3 (can include higher)
Winbond PII Internal CPU temp support
Thermal Cable
AGP 2X
At least 5 PCI
Lots of FSB options between 125-150
Something similar to Softmenu to alter BIOS
SoftFSB support
ATX

Optional:

onboard UDMA/66
any other cool options


Now, I know you may be thinking "BE6-II!!!," but it lacks voltages above 1.9 for a P3. I absolutely have to have above 1.9

Thanks guys, I really appreciate any help.

what about 4 ram slots with at least 1/2" spacings, mounted behind a horizontally orientated CPU slot, low profile components(caps) and mounting (through) holes around the slot for obvious reasons

My current motherboard is great except for the lack of hardware temperature support/higher CPU core/alterable I/O

[OverclockingAddict]

Can someone give me any info on how/what to solder on this mobo to raise I/O? What about Vcore?

Take a look at Aopen AX6BC Pro/Pro2/Pro gold
and se if they offer what you want.

The P3B-F has voltage up to 1.95V... but unfortunately not many FSB options... it has only a 10MHz FSB jump between 140 to 150..

It has everything else? What about VIO, how high can you set it?

[Mbeach]

oops... don't know actually... i got it yesterday so i haven't checked.
I'm at work now, but i'll look into it asap.

Look at Asus pages for specs...

there is a jumper to set V I/O to 3.65. Soyo 6BA+III/IV or BF6 or Be6v.2 would fit your description. The only thing about the BF6/Be6 v.2 that I don't like too much is that the distance between the first DIMM slot and the CPU slot is shorter than the P3BF or the Soyo's.

[NiteOwl]

opps. The Soyo 6BA+III does not have a header for thermal cable ... but P3BF and BF6/Be6v.2 does.
