So I've had my 965P-DS3 for many months now and I've about had it with it. I can't get any higher than 2.7GHz I want to try a better board and see if this chip has more in it. I want to order something tomorrow so what do you recommend and why? All other hardware in sig.

something P35 based.
depending upon budget/required features I would recommend 1 of the abit IP35 series or the Gigabyte P35 series.

I don't require anything specific. I was thinking P35 or 680i

unless your running sli/planning on running sli, don't get 680i, the con's outweigh the pro's by far.

Go for P35. As suggested before, IP35 series or Gigabyte P35 series's are recommended.

Good luck picking one out, it all depends on what your looking to spend and how many extra goodies you want.

What are the cons of the 680i over the P35 explain further if you could?

I would recommend the Abit IP35 series or Asus P5K series. I just bought an IP35 (plain). For more info about the IP35 series, check out the provided link.

Ya I ordered mine 3 weeks ago and when it came mine wouldn't post either. F7 for the loss.
I think once I get it working, it will be a good board though. If the replacement board ever gets here......
I was wondering though what is the major drawback to the 680i, just the bad boards?
