Have any of you guys had both of these boards to test, was wondering which overclocks better with quad and with e6400. also what are your chipset temps on idle, load and overclocked and are the current bios' good?
not sure which to buy, they are both good boards, the ip35 pro has 3 pci-express x1 slots for tv cards and new gadgets and has 2x esata, the gigabyte has printer port and serial port which i wouldnt be using, so by that means i'd go for the abit, but those arent of huge priority tho, a high stable overclock is more important.
im using watercooling and wont be cooling the chipset with water so space around the cpu for a big heatsink isnt important to me. £115 for abit or £101 for gigabyte?
so what do you guys think?
