Hello, I was wondering on which 775 motherboard to buy. My current motherboard, Ep45-ud3r has a problem with overclocking, I don't know whether it's just that the exact board I have is defective. Everytime I overclock over 3.4 ghz with my Q6600, the sleep mode won't work and would constantly restart my computer, in a loop. Also, my overclock would reset if I overclocked at all. I'm just looking for a new motherboard that's cheap, good overclocking without and defects, and can run my gskill 1066 4gb + evga 260 + q6600.

I seriously doubt that your board is bad. The sleep function does not work properly on most of the UD3 boards. Try this to see if your overclock will hold---

Maybe your Bios is not configured properly. Do a CMOS reset and then load Optimum Defaults in this way
CLEAR CMOS
Shut down--unplug-- hold start button in for 10 sec--short the CMOS pins in lower right corner of mobo for 1 minute using a flat screwdriver--plug back in-start--

Load Optimum Defaults--Set PCIe to 100--Set ram timings-- setDRAM voltage--go to Integrated Peripherals-enable all USB settings(they are at the bottom of the page)--go to Advanced BIOS Features,init display-select PEG
Also the boot order will need attention

This will get your BIOS in it's best configuration. If it is a BIOS problem it should now be gone
