Difference between Intel P965 and G965 chipsets?

[homestarmy]

I was looking into P965 to OC an E4300, but I need uATX. It looks like the G965 is the same but with onboard video, is that correct? Can it be expected to be just as overclockable?

I'd like to push an E4300 to 3GHz or more if possible.

Looks like the P965 is the only option from what I'm reading on Newegg, is that correct?

I hear the 965G sucks.

Could you be any less specific?

Seriously.. what do you mean? Everyone knows the integrated graphics are nothing to write home about, but I doubt any of that matters for people who visit this forum as most people here have separate video cards anyway.

So what about G965 sucks, aside from the integrated video?

G965 has integrated video, P965 doesn't.

If you are looking to overclock, yes.

The G965 does not overclock anywhere near as well as the P965. Many people get burned this way thinking "what difference does integrated video make"... it makes a huge difference if you want to overclock. Almost no difference if you don't plan to overclock though.

Get the P965. I have a Gigabyte DS3 and am quite happy with it. Asus makes a good P965 board too.

I concur with what Beachboy said. Last motherboard review I saw comparing the same board with the only noticeable difference being integrated graphics, the one with integrated wouldn't overclock more than a couple of MHz.

The thread is about overclocking so I meant "sucks" as in "it sucks for overclocking." It has absolutely nothing to do with the graphics. Please, try to find the relevance in my comment before calling me out like that.

As is often the case in these threads, people mention things that have no relevance to whatever the original poster was talking about.

Don't be such a chump.. I'll call you out on something if I want to.

How about you learn to read and think before posting like a jackass? Thanks.

I can (and do) read just fine, thanks.
