Motam.co.uk · 8 Apr 2008 at 14:30

hi, im looking at getting a budget pc, and probably going for the p35 mobo.
just wondering whats the best p35 mobo out there.

price range £50-70
Has to have good OC features.

going to get the Intel dual core E2180 and OC it.

i was looking at the Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3., is there a better board for around the same price?

P35-DS3L, built one for my friend with E2180 and it oced to 3.3Ghz on stock cooler.

All P35 are decent and the one you mention is superb for the price.

I have the Asus P5KC which has slots for both DDR2 and DDR3 should I choose to upgrade later.

It's a decent OC'er but as i said, they all are so it's really down to what extra features you want.

Other good alternatives abit IP35-E/IP35 depending upon whether you need RAID &/or firewire & also the MSI Neo2-FR.

there's a big thread here about it.
WJA96 says that the OcUK/J&Ws aren't the best for overclocking the lesser Core 2s.
Also they don't have Intel RAID if that's a requirement for you.

i have the http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-242-AS, which runs my Q6600 at 3.2 and was easy to get there once i had upped my volts.
