Hi people,

I currently have -

Core 2 Duo E6300 - E6700 - X6800.

I have the Intel 975XBX motherboard, and I hate it. Its rubbish for overclocking, has hardly any options, its a nightmare bring back from a failed OC, the list goes on.

So tomorrow, I want to order a new motherboard, Im leaning towards the MSI or the ASUS for the X6800, but I cant decide, so I just wanted your opinions.

So vote!

Cheers,
James

im going to vote for the msi, purely because ive had a p5wdh and it was dead on arrival and very poorly made. i have just ordered the msi from dabs for £125, if it overclocks moderately and is stable, with no ram/power issues like the DS3, then ill be happy

[james.robinson]

I am leaning towards the MSI, as I have had bad experiences with the last 2 ASUS boards I had.

have you found any in stock apart from the stoke sheisters?

[james.robinson]

Sadly not, looks like it will have to come from stoke.

can anyone find a review of the msi?

can anyone find a review of the msi?

no mate, only the older version, not the power up version. theres a few bits and bobs on xtreme about it, but they are probably hand picked ones.

I have the Asus P5W standard and seems like a good mobo up too date, can only imagin the bigger brother of it can only be better.

I hope the Asus is good, ordered one yesterday. My shiny new E6600 needs a good home
