New motherboard advice

Hi, well i'm going to RMA my Asus P5N-ESLi as its faulty and then sell it when I get it back.

Now I dont ever want a P5N-ESLi again, it seems to have its fair share of problems and I would prefer something thats a better overclocker than this, has more features too, i'm looking at around 60-80 quid for a new motherboard.

Thanks
Willz.

I feel exactly the same about my DS3 and going down exactly the same route as you matey.

Damn poo mobo's.

Dunno what the EVGA board is like on this week only, but it definately falls into the price bracket.

if the motherboard is working then keep hold of it untill x38 is out, you could invest in a p35 DS3R but if you ever want to use the G92 to its "full potential" then i would wait a month or two.

i mean is it absolutley grinding your nuts?

I am confused as to if this mobo is faulty or not now.

I am overclocked ot 3.2ghz right, now if I go into Windows XP, run orthos, its most likely to give me errors, same at 3ghz, if I open Core Temp in XP, I will instantly reset but no monitor will come on, and its fine at stock, but when I do the same stuff in Vista, its stable and dont reset uppon opening Core Temp, so I am totally baffled now :confused:
