I got my second Intel G31 Express mobo yesterday MSI G31M-F and overclocking a Q6600 by BIOS was WORSE than my ECS G31M-T. The MSI actually had a voltages options for Ram and Southbridge where as the ECS does not but the MSI hit a wall at 275Fsb where at least the ECS could go to 285Fsb.
Basically both suck real bad at overclocking by available bios options and generally I would not recommend anyone buy them unless you're willing to PAD MOD your CPU. With a PAD modded Q6600 the G31 Express mobo's seem like a great inexpensive, low cost , low power solution for a mildly overclocked folding box.
let's see how they hold up to 24/7 of Q6600 @ 3ghz folding abuse
