Looking for good overclocking board for my Q6600

[Bigmonty]

At the moment I have a P5n-E Sli which cannot overclock the Q6600 above 2.8ghz.

Am looking at a motherboard that will achieve a good overclock while being at the £100 barrier max. It should also be able to seat a Tuniq 120 while leaving space for my GTX 260. I am not in need of SLI.

Was looking at this board http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-143-AB&tool=3

Any good? Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheers

I have always been a fan of the Asus maximus formula/rampage boards. They are meant to be overclocked.

The one you picked out should do the job well, I hear the abit P35 motherboards love to OC. But they have closed down, so if you have any issues down the line you might be lacking support. Otherwise P43/P45 chipset motherboards are the way to go. Anything by Asus or gigabyte should see you well.

If you want a good o/c clocking board, you really want to look at the P45 chip, something like the Asus P5Q or Gigabyte GA EP45 DS3 either of these boards will clock a Q6600 well, better than the Abit IP35 Pro XE, also do be aware that Abit is no longer trading...

+1 for the Asus P5Q (any of theat series, they're all good)

+2 for P5Q series, I have the P5Q-E & it clocks my Q6600 to 3ghz easy, would push it more if I had some nuts.

I ended up buying this board as I have no plans for Crossfire or Sli

I would think you will be more than pleased with it!
