Great board might i add with great OC abilitys, Anyhow...on my next mod i've decided i want to go with a smaller case as i'm never going to use sli, I tried it once and wasn't that impressed, i'd consider Psyix but it seems a waste atm and my GPU can handle it on low-medium settings so i'm happy with that!

Anyway the only thing i really wan the new board to do is not slow me down...and allow me to OC my Core i5 750 back up to 3.2ghz again! so, thoughts on this board...

i hate ASUS and have had problems with there boards in the past but that was a long time ago and i've heard alot of good things about them, i would want at least 2 pci slots but 1 would be ok as long as i got this,

1x Pci-e
1x Pci-e mini? not sure on its correct name
1x Pci slot

that is the must have if it is a different board!

It must also support 5.1 :)

So thoughts guys? or would you suggest anouther board? thanks!

I think you mean
1x pci-e x16 slot
1x pci-e x1 slot
1x pci slot

The thing about pci-e is that you can put a smaller card into a bigger slot.
so you can happly run a pci-e x2 sound card in a pci-e x16 (graphics card sized) slot.

Thanks yes thats just what i ment, the idea is to possibly get a wireless card or a sound card in the Pci-e x1 slot

Bump anyone?

I think that's probably your best bet, not sure what the H55 chipset is like for the i5 750 (or if it's compatible.)

Only other mATX p55 I can find off hand is the Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD4

Oh there is an MSi offering the P55M-GD45

Not idea on what any of these are like for overclocking.

Oh the Asus P7Q57-M DO is Q57 sorry
The Asus P55 mATX are the Maximus III Gene and P7P55-M
