So I got this Q6600 G0, but my current board won't let me OC past 400x8 because the vdroop gets way out of control. When I was trying for 400x9 I went as far as setting my vcore to 1.6v which read ca 1.565v with CPU-z and dropped as low as 1.488v under load. Don't worry temps were way within reason and topped out under 60C.
Anyways, I am not looking for anything with crazy BIOS options like DFI, more something easy like Gigabyte. I am not familiar with the newer chip sets after P35 so I need your input. These are my basic requirements:
LGA775
4 RAM slots
At least 3 PCI slots
At least 6 SATAII ports
Decent onboard audio
1Mb onboard NIC
No, or very little, vdroop
Doesn't have to have SLI nor RAID, but I don't mind if it does either.
I am thinking ca $100-150, but I might spring for more if it's worth it to me.
This will have to be my x-mas gift, since the CPU was for my birthday, so there is no rush on it.
So let me know what's good, thanks.
