Hi All. Would just like to know which mobo you all would pick assuming you were going to run an E6600 at 3.6ghz 24/7...@450 x 8 or with a little luck @515 x 7 ? Air cooling with an Antec Nine Hundred case & Thermalright Ultra 120 + Scythe 120mm fan. Out of these 3 mobos:
1. Asus P5B Deluxe
2. Gigabyte DS3 Rev 3.3
3. Abit Quad GT
I already know that because of the 1066 strap, the Abit board would probably be the fastest @450 x 8 or lower FSB. But this board is new, has some issues, and running on beta Bioses basically. I also dont like how the Abit forum went down and stayed down for 1+ week during Chinese new year and just again with server probs the other day. Please comment on ease of use, assembly, bios, and overall stability.
My RAM is G-Skill PC6400HZ (Micron D9s) & PSU is PC Power & Cooling 610W (12v = 49A). All SATA drives will be used. No RAID, no IDE.
Thx for your time.
