As Gigabyte's top of the line Intel P965 based motherboard, the GA-965P-DQ6 does not disappoint. Gigabyte has been making great pains to push the envelope for enthusiasts and hobbyists and the DQ6 shows the fruits of their labour. From sporting heatpipes (which most manufacturers are doing now, except DFI), to superb connectivity, and huge overclocking stability, the GA-965P-DQ6 appears to be a nearly ideal board for enthusiasts and for overclocking Conroe's. I suspect there is still room for improvement in its BIOS, particularly where it comes to memory write performance, and with further tweaks I'd like to see memory performance reach at least 75% theoretical bus throughput for at least reads... but only the future will tell how much memory performance can be increased on 965 based boards.

The platform is powerfully stable and has all the BIOS features any power user could want. It is efficiently designed and even presents a aesthetically pleasing motherboard that would be a shame to hide. Would I recommend this motherboard to the extreme or standard users? Absolutely!

The Asus P5W DH Deluxe is one of the most robust and complete motherboard solutions we have seen in a long time with options for both the hardcore overclocker as well as the digital home enthusiast. If you are looking to upgrade your system to a new Conroe-based Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Extreme processor, then you definitely should be giving the Asus P5W DH Deluxe a look!

MSI is certainly one of the “big three” enthusiast motherboard manufacturers along with Asus and Abit, so it is always a pleasure to look at their flagship products. Today we are testing the company’s Socket 939 swansong; the K8N Diamond Plus. This motherboard features the latest nVIDIA Nforce 4 SLI 16x chipset and therefore has two full PCI-E 16x PEG slots that will provide extra bandwidth for a pair of powerful cards like the 7900GTX or 7950GX2.

MSI has created an exceptionally fast and robust nForce 570 SLI motherboard with a good price if you are looking to run the board at stock speeds. However, there are some layout issues related to the positioning of power sockets and the MCP heatsink that may sway your buying decision. Budding overclockers should look elsewhere.
