Hi

I'm interest by this Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4 is it a good board to do overclocking? (The gigabyte is a bit expensive)


I'm open for other board suggestion who can make overclocking with it. I'm look to board max 200$ or lower.

Tanks

i have one and it is running my E8400 at 500 FSB without any problems at all. I'm quite happy with it.

any p35 board will oc fine, get a abit ip35-pro/e. the gigabyte is ok tho.

What did you get out of this FSB speed?

Are you going to run a dual core or a quad core? You might want to consider a P45-based board instead.

Well, im trying to leverage what i got. A mb change is a big change, chip and ram is easy. So Im looking at a Q9650, but not worth the bother unless there a good chance i can overclock close to 4 gig.

If i gotta change the mb, then i might as well go for more modern platform.

45nm quad = p45
everything else = p35/x38 or p45
