Q6600 help

hi all

I am upgrading my pc's mobo, and cannot decide which is best for the q6600 for overclocking. any help in choosing or guides to overclocking would be welcome. i have looked at the biostar t power, asus p5k, and a few gigabyte boards. am hoping to overclock to around 3.5 .
many thanks

the most recognised mobo for overclocking cpus is the asus p5k editions, the maximus 2 formula is the best in my pov tho

Got my Q6600 to 3.6 quite easily using the P5Q-E, I guess it depends on the chip too though.

My X38 based Asus Maximus formula has done a good job on my Q6600. 3.6Ghz and stable on air

(Had to put a 80mm fan on the NB though to keep it cool).

p5k-e or p5k pro turbo are both excellent boards to do the job
