Motherboard decisions

Carbine · 8 Aug 2006 at 13:23

Not really desperate though i am tempted to buy everything wither today or tomorrow.

Which boards are best overclocking an E6600?

The ones i have in mind are:

* Gigabyte GA 965P-DS3

* Gigabyte GA 965P-DS4

* Asus P5W DH Deluxe

Not just for overclocking but i also want great if not best features.

Ram i will be using is:

G.Skill 2GB DDR2 HZ PC2-6400 (2x1GB) CAS4 Dual Channel Kit

I think the Gigabyte GA 965P-DS4 is a great board mate, might not be able to do sli or crossfire, but is a really good board in my opinion

LOL Temptation has really kicked in now.. need more views... tempted to checkout the Asus

Asus P5W DH Deluxe.... is a good board as long as you have either;

an old chip so you can flash the BIOS to support Conroe or dont mind waiting for the flash chip that Asus provide after you e-mail them...
