[samster]

Hi, i would like a cheap motherboard good for overclocking my E6400 to 3.0-3.5GHZ i will be using XMS2 800 ram with that Could anybody help?

can use p43 board if you want cheapest with that RAM, for best overclock will need to go for more expensive p45. Gigabyte or Asus are good brands, would avoid Abit since they are closing their doors.

PS 3.5ghz is big OC for e6400 , your cpu may not reach that high + make sure you have good cpu cooling

do you have some sort of budget in mind.?
and you will have to buy a 3rd party cpu cooler to go for an overclock that substancial.
