I'll be posting a review of ECS's G33 motherboard this next week, and should have something within the next couple of weeks on Gigabyte's G33 board.

Its a good chipset, not a top choice for the enthusiast, but a typical INTEL chipset.....solid, feature rich, and a great performer

will the g33 survive the overclocking process?

Generally, MicroATX boards do not OC well. Don't expect too much.

ive heard those gigabyte boards are ment to be ace. I was planning on getting a gigabyte p35 when the the intel cpus come out (aslong as there not 2 pricy in the uk)

About the BIOS update, you might want to put the CPU in. The BIOS may detect the CPU as a different CPU (i.e. Core 2 Duo as a Pentium D), but when you update the BIOS, it should detect the CPU correctly.

Good Luck!!

With NVMonitor, 20C idle. With CoreTemps, 33C idle. Never above 50C at load!

sounds like your NVMonitors grossly inaccurate there YH
