Well as some of you may know, my P5B Deluxe's BIOS decided to get all fritzed to the point nothing would clear it, so it's on RMA. Fortunately I had about 7 days left on my 1-year return plan with the 'Egg. P5B Deluxes have been a deactivated item on Newegg for quite some time, and when I inquired about this they said I'd get an option of similar items or refund. My board showed up on Thursday of last week so I expect to hear something in the Mon/Tues area.
I've been reading up on the newer chipsets, mostly the P35 series as it was the direct P965 replacement. I've started doing some research, and it seems there are plenty of good boards out there with some very good OC potential. I know earlier P35's had issues OC-ing as high as a good 965 board, but the tides have long since changed.
I was kind of curious as to what you guys would recommend for a stable, cool-running, semi-feature-filled P35 board?
If I go refund when the time comes, I should get $179.99 US. There are a couple of boards on Newegg that would fit that bill easily in the P35 area and would also be my limiting budget factor.
I am kind of leaning towards an Abit IP35 Pro atm as it has nice features, looks and from what I've read some great OC-ability. Depending on budget I could always get the IP35-E which from what I've heard is a 500+ FSB board for a bit cheaper. Of course there are quite a few good options, so if you have suggestions please let me know!
My e6300 is capable of 500FSB (3.5ghz) with just a nudge over stock voltage (1.34vcore, 1.32 is stock). And my memory is 500fsb/ddr 1000 capable with 2.15v. So if things work out the way I want and I can get a P35 board, I would like to know the one I get will run good, cool and stable. I see no need for X38 or newer as I don't need full CF or any CF at all, I have no plans for 2 vid cards. Just a good solid OC'd system that will continue to do what I want.
