Dual XP2000?
 

I was wondering but I'm going to do it anyway:

Will a dually Asus A7M266D mobo be able to hold 2 Maze 2 blocks without cracking or something? I have all the parts here except the second block. When it gets here I'm going to hook it all up and see what kind of overclock I can get out of it. My RADs are going to be in a fridge and the pump is a Eheim 1250.

Are you sure the board has the speed holes you need for mounting? I thought they were filled in or something. Most of the dual AMD boards don't have the holes you need.

Seeing as you already have the board, you probably already know... I'm just curious..

Its easy to unfill them. ;)

It's easy, but is it safe?

if you feel confident enough to put holes in the board then yes they'll both fit on there fine.

but I do recommend the iwill mpx2, I am getting mine tomorrow, it has:

2x quad phase power supplies
compatible with EPS12v and ATX 12v
5 fan headers
100 - 250mhz fsb
4x 32bit 33mhz
2x 64bit 66mhz
1x agp pro
working usb
cpu vcore control
memory voltage control
multiplier control up to 15x
proper holes for waterblocks. will fit maze2, but not swiftech mcx462

quite possibly the best motherboard yet!

Argh!! This sucks!! Being in America.. waiting and waiting for the Iwill MPX2 and the MSI K7D Master-L!! well.. I guess it's kinda OK because my case isn't ready for my new computer yet either... But WHEN!??!?!?! :shrug: :confused: :mad:

Brad... I would hope it wouldn't ship with broken USB :p

Heh.. this not being the 2cpu forums you probably don't know this..

The original rev of the MPX chipset *did* ship with broken USB. Arguably, it wasn't really broken, but there was a problem that was only caught right before shipping. To be safe, they (they being AMD) disabled the onboard USB and supplied a USB PCI card instead.

Now, however, the problem has been fixed on the new revs of the chips, so everything is pretty much OK now, though it's new enough that telling people you got one with "fixed USB" isn't really uncommon or unreasonable.

The mpx2 is here! i don't have any ram for it yet though

Don't tell me that I'm the first person to drill out the holes on this board. I haven't heard much talk about doing it but it should work fine. I am just waiting on the 2nd waterblock from cooltechnica. It should get here by tomorrow and I ordered it Monday. :D

If the board is dead then I'll have a lot of spare components. :evilaugh:

You can drill out the holes in the Asus A7M266-D just fine......even Asus admits it's okay......they left the holes filled to pass RFI tests.....Several ppl are running dual Maze 2's on this board

yeah, it's fine to do, many people have drilled the holes, it always works
