Any specific budget? If money is no object, go for ASUS Striker Extreme, and Freezer 7 Pro.

Well if moneys no object, why not water for cooling?

Also, I would get the ASUS Maximus SE that just came out. Gives you the option of Watercooling the NB (or keep stock for Air) as well as Crossfire, since you already have one HD2900.

Gah i'm anti-ASUS, had so much trouble with my 2 past boards with ASUS, i'm really looking for something else :banghead:

money is not an object but air has treated me well so far, i would like a low noise cooler tho.

Hawk1 · Oct 22, 2007

Do you ever plan on trying crossfire? Are you thinking Air cooling or other? Also, again, what kind of budget you have?

i would give asus one last try, they make good stuff, i've had almost every 939 board and even an am2 board of theirs and they are great, my friends running an asus crosshair and it's incredible, bios/board layout/pcb quality. I would grab the crossfire board and give them one more shot, the board gets decent reviews and offers a slew of oc'ing options. If not that then i would try a gigabyte or dfi board.

If I was in the market for a board at the moment, I would not hesitate to get this:

ABIT IP35 Pro LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813127030

Finally, Abit looks like it's back. Best overclocking options/bios of any boards I've ever used. I've owned 4 of them.

vexen · Oct 22, 2007

yes i am really pleased with my DFI, i've seen it took em a while to get back with 775 high-end boards, how good are them? gigabyte?

well since i already have most of the alternate pieces, my budget is around $1200 CDN for the remaining.

I don't think you could go wrong with this either:

I do like my 965P-DQ6 a lot, it's rock solid.
