| Colonel Calamity  | Re: mobo/cpu suggestions? you need to base it on whether you will be going SLI or not... if not then the DS3 is a damn good stable board... but I would definitely stick with at least the E4300/6300 CPUs as the PentiumD series is not worth it.  Thanks HL and Corsair! My opinions are my own and not representative of this site or its members.  |

| Re: mobo/cpu suggestions? if you arent gonna use SLI, and have the budget, go for the P5B or P5B Deluxe. yea Deluxe has SLI, but its 4x mode with 2 cards and isn't worth it, but its one of the (if not the) best C2D board aside from the 680i boards. thats why i got it. that gigabyte, though, is amazing, don't kid yourself. and DEFINITELY 1000000000000000% C2D! enjoy.  |

| Re: mobo/cpu suggestions? I heard the Gigabyte overclocks really well..... Does anybody know if the MSI overclocks good? Since I'm not running SLI should I go with the Gigabyte? |
