Lo chaps, gonna buy a new mobo tomoz, think I've settled on the Gigabyte P45 DS4.
Some quick questions, it looks to be exactly the same as the DS5 but with 4 less SATA ports? Is it really exact same cooling, components etc? I've scrimped before and paid the price, want to know exactly what I'm getting into this time.
In a few weeks I'll be looking to stick a 45nm (dual or quad) in there and OC to 4GHz. So I want a mobo that can definitely hit the required FSB with a e8500 or Q9550.
And lastly, any words of warning / suggestions of alternatives? I can go to £200 if it's really worth it for my needs (heavy OC, good stock cooling).
