Default Best x48 Overclocker

I was wondering if i went x48 to accommodate a pair of dx11 cards, if there is a board that is similar in overclocking potential to the p5qp/ud3p.... i was looking to reach ~470fsb on my quad... thanks

If you're really set on getting a X48 mobo, the
Rampage Formula
is recommended.

Thread.

http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum...rd-review.html

I suggest that you wait a bit longer and save up for an i7 rig though. The 775 socket will never be able to perform as good as a 1366.

*edit* The Foxconn runs on DDR3.

Ah! never thought about the ddr3, I have a few gigs of it kicking about so never thought.

for the price though you could buy it and a couple of makedo ddr3 sticks sell your old board and ram.

Could come out costing you very little for the jump to ddr3 and have a great board to boot.

Btw I wouldnt move to i7 with the processor you have the performance increase would only be noticeable in bench and recode.
