Hello, I have my Q6600 running on 3.49GHz and I am pretty sure that it cannot go higher because of my current mobo Gigabyte GA-965P-S3. FSB is 387 and pc will not boot if I add another megahertz, although I can go over 395 using EasyTune utility in windows, so I think about buying a new mobo. I like gigabyte so what about some board with P45 chipset? I want at least 3PCI slots and don't need RAID so it narrows the selection quite a lot, but I am not sure about the other features I should be aware of, so please advice me if there is something important to keep in mind when choosing.
I may be even persuaded to buy something totally different like P35 or some NVidia chipset if you bring good arguments Thanks

Can you give a budget?

This is a good board.

P5Q-E looks good, if you want to go a little cheaper I have the P5Q Pro and its been performing solidly

ErBall

p5q deluxe is about as good as the p45 gets. I almost got one.

Agreed with others said here, Asus P5Q pro or P5Q-e (extra $10 for better cooling componenrs etc) is a good board.

P5Q-D
P5Q-Pro

Or the one I have!! Honestly not worth it, though I bought it for the looks. The other two have similar performance.

Get a T Power I45 like mine and you`ll be as happy as a pig in ****.

I looked at the ASUS P5Q deluxe and some other P45`s but im really glad i opted for the T Power its the best board i ever had; i would have gone for an ASUS Rampage Extreme but have you seen the price of those things......?

Mr. Stroker

I would have to say any new p45 x38/48 by a major maker is going to be better than a p965. The p965 was good for the time but cannot keep up with the new boards.

I found it very simple to OC my q6600 on a p5q-e and remains very stable. with not much vdroop.
