There are some decent motherboards manufactured by Intel out there, but do they offer any overclocking options?
 
bios-wise idk, chipset wise, the boards will do decent based on the chipset.
 
Yes BIOS wise. I wouldn't buy two motherboards and try soldering the chipset off one an onto another :laugh:

I've seen it done.
 
Well are the boards BIOS overclockable or no??

I feel like hacking the BIOS on my old HP computer sitting here for some reason, but it's an asus board I think
 
G'day Hat,
You will probably see a price drop on the d975xbx2(badaxe2) as the x38 based badaxe 3 is so close the hair on the back of my neck is standing up...ps i run 3.8 on air e6600 for benches...so yeah they oc okay
edit:yeah the badaxes are intels flagship oc boards..so the bios supports oc..they even have windows oc utilities like the taiwanese (asus,abit,gigabyte) oc boards do...come to the darkside...we have cookies.
edit: oh and the power components on the board(put there by the same engineers that designed the proccy and chipset...they tend to be of better quality than the competition) i find i dont need as much voltage for my clocks as others
