Can anyone recommend a socket775 motherboard?

[col83]

Hi,
I just upgraded to a q9550 CPU from my old e2180 and am facing a complete FSB wall when used with my new 4870x2 GPU.

I have only managed a modest overclock by about 160mhz. Whereas with a 8800GT install I can get 3.4ghz no probs which is 560mhz over.

I have read on the net of other people with the same motherboard as me (Gigabyte P31 DS3L) having the same problem.

So I'm wondering if there are any good overclocking boards out there that are relatively cheap to buy?

Cheers

Pricey gets you a better overclock.

I decided to go with the Asus P5Q Turbo, the same as the one you suggested but without support for 2 graphics cards
Stretched myself to £86 delivered from Scan...
Let the overclocking commence!

You can an X48 based motherboard for around that price:
