Good morning all. Its pay day and i fancy a new mobo. I currently have a q6600 running at 2.88Ghz but fancy more. It needs atleast 4 sata and 5.1 audio on it. Im using 2x2gb ram ddr2 800 and a 8800gt 512mb gpu. It also needs to be pretty easy to overclock aswell please.
cheapish mobo

sorry about the late reply decided to get a new case before my motherboard (p182). Currently i have a asus p5kpl-vm. I have got my Q6600 up to 2.88Ghz just by using a overclocking profile in the bios but i can not see where i could get it any higher. Still not too sure what i want next. Any ideas?

If you're running on stock cooling, that's the first thing I'd change for a healthy overclock. Was limiting me somewhat. Then perhaps change of motherboard.
im using one of them artic freezer pro's. On the motherboard i have at the mo there is overclocking profiles which will overclock it by a percentage. I have it at 20% at the mo but if i try 30% it wont boot up. Which motherboard do you recommend?
