Turning to the Dark Side - Recommend me an Intel Mobo!

Gunni Parker · 17 Jan 2008 at 21:48

i have decided to change to Intel because the Phenom has proved to be rubish and it is as cheap.

Can anyone recommend me a motherboard to sport the q6600 iam planning to buy?

Iam looking at spending £100-£140?

Have already considered the:

Abit IP-35 Pro
Asus P5K-E WiFi

I would like a mobo that can overclock to atleast over 3.2ghz on air. Single or Sli. Thanks.

Whether you'll reach 3.2ghz surely depends on your CPU and Ram as well but anyway I'd probably pick the IP35 Pro unless you need the WiFi of the Asus, main reason for picking it is that it should be as capable but it is about £20 less at the moment.

I have the P5K Premium Wifi (Black Pearl)
Currently running at 3.6Ghz on a quad - excellent board.

The IP35 Pro is also a very good board and can overclock to what you need, too.

how about that one!

I was thinking about getting another 2 gb of my current ram, is this suitable for overclocking the cpu? Iam going to stay with stock cooler for now funds wise but I will probably get a Zalman.

Whats the difference between the ip-35 and the ip-35 pro? is the pro better for overclocking?
