What mobo, edging towards QuadGT

Yeah it is tbh. I sold the evga £30 greater than retail but with hindsight it seems I may have gotten the rough end of the stick now.

Why didn't you not buy another EVGA motherboard and pocket the £30 you made above retail from selling the last one..
 
Because evga were out of stock for ages(this was when they were first released - hence been offered £30 over RRP!) so I got an ECS board which is the same board as we all now know but which wasn't widely known at the time.

Don't recomend me Asus boards, ever. vdroop on Asus boards are bigger than the grand canyon. It's only in their P35 deluxe boards have they finally realised that people want the choice of disabling the intel spec vdroop.

Asus boards have never been "top" notch when it comes to overclocking - there RoG boards are not bad, but for the price other boards out perform them for cheaper such as Commando vs QuadGT. I don't believe in taking pencils to a motherboard that should be flagship enough not to incur any vdroop.

Pencil/resistor mods should be for users with ASRock boards who don't have such voltage options. I have no problems with taking a soldering iron or pencil to anything, but I shouldn't have to do it on premium boards.

Asus simply don't put in the effort to build such a board, they never have.

Socket A was all DFI and Abit, 939 was DFI, was pretty much the only board guarenteed to do 300+ HTT, the Asus boards rarely did 300HTT, 754 was DFI again with the 250GB LP, Core2Duo is looking like eVGA 680i for quads and QuadGT and maybe the DFI 965 (pending real user reviews).

The problem is, 680i raid controller just isn't what the intel one is, and paying top money for 680i - that is a bit disapointing.
