Best motherboard for overclocking my Q6600?

[newtekie1]

Well my eVGA board sucks at overclocking my Q6600, which I kind of already knew. I could RMA it for a new board which is supposed to fix the problems, but I don't want to wait for eVGA to do it.

So which board should I go for, the P5N32-E SLI (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131073) or is it worth it to go for the Striker Extreme (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131074)?

I prefer ASUS boards since they have always served me well, but will go with something else if it is really worth it, and I need SLI, so no suggestions for Intel chipsets.

striker extreme if you absolutely need asus. otherwise i recommend the evga 680i sli a1 mobo.

and you'll want the 680i sli chipset for the li.

if you were looking to get a dx10 with it I would recomend the x35 board.. but that dont do sli or x fire well.. you could wait until nov.12th and get the new 780i.. :)

he wants sli too.. so I think he should hold out for a 780i.. why rush when you can wait and get better/newer :P

Yeah, SLI is a must, and I odn't like Intel chipsets, so any board with an x38 is out.

And I'm impatient, so I can't wait for 780i.:laugh:

x38 is whack, only real benefit is 1-3 points on 3dmark and full x-fire. stick with either 680i or 780i. shame on all of the people that were too lazy to read the part that he need sli lmao.

Just wait man :P good things come when you wait.. I learned this trough cross Canada ground shipping and waiting becore finalizing my order. I just ordered a bunch of crap took me over a week to pick out lol.

your mobo still runs the quad for now so atleast your not without a pc :) Havent reviewed much about the 780i all I really know is its sli.. atleast it will prob be more quad friendly and 45nm rdy :). Nov.12th.
