975x or 965 express chipset for Conroe?

[johnnynodough]

Crossfire isnt an issue, im just sticking with my ol faithful 7800 GT. Ill never put it in SLI either, so I am not looking at waiting for an Nforce chipset.


Planning on getting a E6700 (maybe E6600) after the dust settles.


and for RAM -

Brand Patriot
Series Dual Channel
Model PDC22G6400LLK-------------- Are these Micron chips?





Im pretty interested in OC'n, since this wont be my main pc, still keeping my A65 3500+ system going with a new budget vid card.

So I need a good platform to start some very tame OC'n, nothing major at all until I know that I know what I am doing 🙂

The 965 is supposed to have a better memory controller, but the benchmarks show different.


Thanks all,


BTW, first post X_X

Asus P5W DH Deluxe looks like it will be the best board for overclocking so far, thats what I plan on getting.

I could be wrong, but I think they're Elpida chips.

I bought the same RAM for my system.

I am also looking for a good overclocking single gfx card board for conroe. I have heard about asus and biostar coming out with good ones, though I have not seen them for sale as of yet.

what about the 965 Gigabyte boards, i hear they will be relatively cheap and perform well when OC'ing.
