Foxconn 975XAB

That's my board.
As you may remember, i was having problems with overclocking my CPU over 2.5ghz. It was the RAM that was in question, but now i've replaced my assorted RAM with 2gb OCZ Platinum 800mhz and i can't overclock as high as before. I decided to update my BIOS, and now, apparently, i'm running off of the backup BIOS, and i can overclock even LESS. (Timeline, from 326mhz-306mhz-296mhz now).

What the hell is up with that??

I know you're going to tell me its a crap Mobo... I've figured that one out. If no-one has any info in fixing this, what mobo can you recommend? I don't want to spend excessive amounts, to be honest, and i want pretty much the same features as my current one, but not a cheap, chinese peice of crap.

Gigabyte DS3 or Asus PB5 both start around £70/80 and are recommended for their oc potential.

P5B deluxe wifi. Dont buy cheap boards for overclocking, it will only come back and bite you on the arse.

It wasn't cheap.... That's why i'm pissed.

with an E6400 you'll get a better overclock with a 965 (unless you need the dual x8 of 975 for Crossfire).

I like my QuadGT having switched from a Gigabyte DS4.
