I need a new 775 motherboard. Any ideas?

Fred_G · 05-July-08, 09:01 PM

I appologize in advance. I hate these kinds of threads, but I am not finding what I want on NewEgg. I think my board is going south quickly, and I want a new more better one.

I would like to keep the cost around $100 to $150, will consider spending more if I need to. It is for a Q6600 I want to overclock. I want to have the option for Crossfire in the future (have a 3870 X2 right now), want to use DDR2 RAM, and onboard RAID would be a plus.

Do any members here have a board they use and can recommend?

Thanks for your time.

I'm a big Asus fan right now. I have a board similar to this and it overclocks like crazy plus has all the features you could ever want. Newegg.com - ASUS P5K-E/WIFI-AP LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards

Thanks for taking the time to post that Big Dog! It is number one on my list right now.

Actually, I looked at it, looks nice. I have never known Big Akita to talk BS. I ordered one. Problem solved.

You'll be happy. I have that mobo in my office PC and it's a Great Board :-)

Quick update. Got the board, so far I love it. Waiting on sandpaper and a new heatsink to show up this week, then a quick lap on the heatsink, and the real overclocking begins on this bitch.

Thanks for the replies BA and Slay.
