My knowledge of motherboards is fairly weak at the moment, so I come here seeking the divine knowledge of experienced techies.
I need a motherboard that fits the following:
- Excellent overclocking capabilities (both cpu and ram)
- Good chip cooling (something like that of the Gigabyte EP45T Extreme would be nice just for the hell of it, but I would just like to have decent cooling without having to refit heatsinks or add extra fans all over)
- DDR2 memory
- At least enough slots for one graphics card, a wireless lan card, and a sound card.
I will be using either an E8500 or E8600 C2D (not sure if some mobos do better with certain cpus than others, but just in case...). This will also be a gaming rig.
