with the stability and usage from my DS3, I have heard good things about the DQ6 as well... that would be my suggestion... but I have no real world experience with either of those you mentioned...







Thanks HL and Corsair!

thats it... I OC'd my E6400 earlier today to 2400 without a single problem.. just set divider to 2.0 (= 1:1) and cpu fsb to 300 and it ran at 2400MHz without a problem. I still need to work on my cooling as it is just a large heatsink no fan right now but it still did it no problem. After I set the OC, it restarted, gave me a loud grinding buzz sound, restarted itself and booted to windows. Gained 800+ points in 3DMark06 just from that small OC on this DS3 board...







Thanks HL and Corsair!

If you are planning on SLI, that really rules out the DQ6 (my favorite motherboard on the market right now), but the eVGA board is really a great choice as well, and to be honest while I've not been able to OC my 680i board as far as the DQ6, the wide variety of memory options make it a fantastic board to tweak.

OCing on the eVGA is really good I've heard. If you want SLI, The eVGA.
