Best over clcoking mobo for Q6600 ?
OK I am looking to replace the Asus mobo I have as I have been having a terrible time with v-drop and I hate it
Any way as some have suggested I should do some research and well I have been doing just that and as I have been looking I decided to start to look for some thing that is fully compatible with the RAM I have not just Chipset and voltage and the such . I went onto the OCZ site to see just what mother boards they recommend for that very RAM I have . This is what I have found out .

I went to the NVIDIA® SLI™- certified tab and clicked it this popped up this .

Looking through this I found these mobo's

With the XFX site not putting up the required information . After digging around I found this on the site .

So my question is this I know that my mobo doesn't officially support the RAM I have and I am not going to get some new stuff as I really like this RAM .
I was looking at this mobo http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131299
And well now again I am confused if Intel this Chipset will even support the RAM I have as well it sure doesn't support Nvidia clearly ( If they did why did they ONLY make crossfire mobo's ? ) and if it doesn't support Nvidia is there any reason I should go with the P5Q-pro over any of the other mobo's that clearly support the Killer RAM I have ?
AS you all know any help is greatly needed .
This is a big decision and as I willy nilly jumped into a mobo the last time I want to make the right choice this time and that choice has to be taking every thing I have into consideration not just one piece of hard ware but all of them . CPU , RAM , Video card , HDD and even the PSU .
