Looking for a new mobo
2
Ok, as the title says im looking for a new mobo. Im sick and tired of my P5N-E SLI and its FSB HOLES
![]()
. Im not going to sli (well not now at least) and i have been thinking of moving over to intel chipsets and ati, but for now i would be using my 8600GTS with the board. Im not going to buy LGA1336 since i cant afford it anyways. So i would like some suggestions on some mobo thats P45 (or P43/G43). I really want it to overclock better with my E5200 than my current board. I cant maintain higher than 3.5Ghz due to multiplier problems and FSB holes on the board. Though i can hit 3.7Ghz 100% stable with 10.5x multi but i cant maintain it after a restart.
So here are the mobos im choosing from: of course you can add to the list
Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3
ASUS P5Q
MSI P45 Neo3-FR (maybe not... :S)
Gigabyte GA-EP43-DS3L
ASUS P5K (i know its a p35 but i looks cool and its under a 100€)
MSI P43 Neo3-FR
So which one overclocks the best with E5200 and fits a OCZ Vendetta and is an otherwise good board too? Im open to suggestions.
EDIT: Sry LGA1336 is out but the price is way too high....
Thanks

I meant the just the plain P5Q http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1...64&modelmenu=1, but i dont wanna go for the P5Q-E cuz its a tad expensive the P5Q-Pro is reasonable so i might consider it. How about those gigabytes...? And how are the OC capabilities of the P5Q and P5Q-Pro?

Also how is the build quality of those gigabytes and how good are the bios overclocking settings. Also a general suggestion of a good OC:ing mobo in the 80-135€ range would be welcomed?

So the GA-EP45-DS3 will clock better than a ASUS P5Q or P5Q-Pro or will there performance be pretty much the same?
