Hello,
Looking for a new mobo to replace my 975 chipset. I currently have the Abit AW9D-MAXX and would like to try something else other than Abit, I've been using Abit since the B6X days for the Celeron 300A combo but I've noticed Abit really dropped the ball these past couple of years. I would like to try the 780i chipset but I just don't have the time to do research and tweak the board untill it works right. Looking for a board thats solid and stable right out of the box without vdrop mod or anything. I plan on using the CPU that i have now which is a E6600 that will hit 3.6 on a Tuniq Tower. I'm really just looking for a smooth transition without spending too much time tweaking the board thats why i've decided to go with the intel chipset route.
I'm thinking of

http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16813136042 - DFI X38
http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16813128326 - Gigabyte EX38-DQ6
I've always been using Abit boards and never used anything else so i really appericate all the inputs on these boards.
Current system specs:
Abit AW9D-MAXX
E6600@3.6
Tuniq Tower with 120mm fan
2X 1 gig Plat. OCZ PC8000 DDR II
eVGA 8800GTX ACS Edition
W.D 150 Raptor
2x W.D SE 320gig on RAID 0
Thanks!
