P5Q Pro v's P5B Delux

FLESHnBLOOD · Aug 20, 2008

I have a P5B Delux - WIFI. Would it be worth upgrading to the P5Q Pro.

I have my current Pc oc'd to Q6600 @ 3.2, i did have it at 3.4 but the Corsair 6400C4 made me have to cut back when i upgraded from 2gb to 4gb from 800mhz to 533mhz (only running at 712mhz oc'd) do you think changing to the P5Q Pro will fix this problem.

ps. i dont need the WIFI anymore.

Up grading memory is a better bet. :beer:

i know that would be better. its just that i was going to be getting the P5Q Pro for upgrading my sisters pc and i wasn't sure if it would be worth going to the trouble of doing the swop.

Nope, not worth it imo. Your best bet would be to upgrade the ram as deeppow mentioned

sorry, i'm not 100% sure you know what i'm saying, i might not have given enough info.
she has an old P4 3.0ghz, AGP vc, DDR Ram on an 865 mb. so i'm going to be doing the upgrade no mater what.
I have the P5B Delux on MY pc.
Should i give her my MB and keep the new one.

Yes, assuming both are easy to work on, I would change. I'm assuming you want to overclock the new board and this would also give you a chance to upgrade to 1066 memory for a higher OC.

Looks like you'll also need to buy a CPU, graphics card, and probably a PSU but that's no surprise to you I'm sure. :beer:

yes, i was going to be getting those other things. i allready have a cpu from when i changed from a e6420 to the q6600. :beer:
