Quad-core boards

What are the decent ones that don't restrict the quads to a ~340mhz FSB?

Wait for P35 if you aren't desperate...

but if you are, then I'll start us off with Abit QuadGT.

I can get 350 on the striker with quad but i used to get 500 on duo before stable ! same ram , same system

QuadGT, P5B DeLuxe/Commando, the "fixed" eVGA 680i revision

I fancy a QuadGT. Has anyone tried removing its heatpipe?

several people have - on this forum WJA96 is running with a water-cooled CPU, nb & PWM (an overclocked quad draws a lot of amps & hence creates high PWM temps).

The PWM is what I'm worried about.

Which PWM block are you using Walter?

How does the P5B Deluxe fair with a Quad ? Can it push a higher FSB than 340~

Had my Q6600 at 9x400 = 3.6 on DS3 but couldn't get it stable..would need water.

EK 1 iirc.

maybe wait for the DFI 680i LT board, it's digital PWM should be able to handle quads without worrying about extra cooling etc

Will check later though it's not one of the newest revisions.
