Following my previous thread:
http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17844577

I'm going to be buying a new Q9450.

I have 4GB of Corsair XMS2 ram.. and would like to transfer this to a new mobo. I currently have a P5N32-E SLI PLUS.

Now i have a 3870X2 i would like to change my mobo to a crossfire one.

Dont want to be paying too much, but which is the best option at the moment please? (i will be attempting to overclock the Q9450 quite far)

thanks

Maximus Formula?

What FSB can you get out of a maximus formula?

Fisha:

What budget have you set aside for a motherboard?

You might want to have a look at the Gigabyte GA P35 DS3P - I have this mobo, and have an E8400 @ 4.2GHz (FSB467), have had it @ 4.5GHz (FSB500).....or the Asus P5K E WiFi

Thanks guys, id like to spend around £100.

The Gigabyte GA P35 DS3P jbloggs looks promising.. can anyone suggest anything maybe better for around this price range?

cheers

For just over £100 the P5K-E is good value.

To answer an earlier question, the maximus formula can get to 460-470FSB on quads apparently.
