I ordered the KT600, and I've already sent it back to NewEgg. Wouldn't run my Barton 2500+ or my Palomino 1900+ below 70 degrees celsius. I always have bad motherboard luck, but this is pathetic. In other news, I got my girlfriend's KT400 to OC my Barton from 1.8 GHz to 2.1 GHz with a regular CPU fan. They don't suck; they may just not have the potential for extreme overclocking like nforce 2's.
As for chipset versus chipset, I'm still hearing that the nForce 2's are doing better for overall performance. I'm still quite sure that if my KT600 didn't come fucked up, then it'd be OC'ing to at least 2.2 GHz with my Barton in it.
Anyway, I RMA'ed the motherboard back to NewEgg and ordered the famous Abit NF7-S, which I hear is possibly the best mobo for OC'ing period.
