it clockes better than my P5Q deluxe and i can get same clocks as the P5Q with lower voltage,
couple of niggles with cpuz showing NB voltage instead of core, but overall worth it

ive also noticed a significant decrease in loading times now, not sure if thats just ddr3 or something else.

Buy it now, so when you go i9 /i7 /i5, you already have the ram, so less expensive next time, as its only mobo and cpu. Well thats my thinking.


Just remember that i9/i7/i5 use low voltage DDR3 with a maximum voltage of 1.65v,most DDR3 ram for socket 775 is 1.8v and above.As long as your black-ops allows a low voltage setting in bios (1.65v or below) you should be ok.

its not a bad board at all but i think gigabyte p45 UD whatever its called and ASUS p5q pro/premium/deluxe series boards are better for overclocking and features
I can certainly agree with this, my p5q deluxe clocked my q6600 and q9550 with ease, going by the q9550 thread on xs, the gigabyte range are slightly better again.
