Hi,

Im looking for a new motherboard to go with my intel q6600 and 4 gig ram. As per this thread http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?p=10599935#post10599935

The mobos im looking at are as follows -

(one of three, not 100% which one is best)
asus p5k (p35 chipset) premium wifi
asus p5e (x38 chipset)
asus p5k3 (p35 chipset)

It has also been suggested that i look at the abit ip35.

Can anyone suggest the best mobo to go for from the above choices, or indeed suggest any that i have missed. Also any known issues with any boards.

Thanks
 
Yeah after a bit more reading i think i agree with you on the mobo front there. Asus P5E x38 looks really good and seems to be a good overclocker. going to add 4 gigs or geil blue dragon 800mhz ram and of course the q6600. I have now thought a little bit more about overclocking and am going to get a dual 120 rad and a swiftech waterblock to cool the cpu only.

Would i be better if im going to overclock more to get faster ram?
