P5Q Pro or Rampage Formula?

[AlexTrickle]

I currently have on order (but out of stock) an Asus P5Q Pro Turbo but I have just seen on the member's market a 2nd hand Asus Rampage Formula X48 motherboard for near enough the same price as a new P5Q Pro.

My main objective is to get as much out of my E8600 as possible by overclocking (have ordered a H50 as well).

So my simple question is which will be better for overclocking?

Also if anyone who deals with stock from OcUK sees this thread - any update on when the P5Q Pros will come into stock?

Thanks!

The p5q pro being a newer p45 chipset board may overclock slightly better than the x48, id only look at the x48 if you need ati crossfire at x16 per slot.

P45

As setter mentioned the P45 chipset tended to be slightly better at overclocking, but there isn't much in it.
