What did you like better? The asus p5b deluxe or the dq6? Pretty general question. Why?

 

[idiotekniQues]

considering my p5b-deluxe was afflicted with a known issue of simply not booting up unless you ran circles around it to get it to go - i like the dq6 better

of the three mobos, only the gigabyte hasnt given me issues. of course, this is my small personal experience. feature wise they are both pretty much the same. having dual bios is kinda nice. the colors on the gigabyte arent my favorite - but without a windowed case i could care less.

as you can see from my sig, this board is doing me just fine oc'ing wise. i can run this chip at 3.6ghz+ on the gigabyte - so it can hang with the big boys.

I have a problem with this mobo. System locks up continuously, especially when running something that uses a lot of memory. However, freezing can happen even if system is idle, but rarely. I tried memory tests (Orthos, Everest, SiSoft Sandra, etc) and every test freezes my system after 40s to 3 mins. I thought that this is memory issue, but then I tried 4 different RAM models (Transcend JetRam 800MHz, Kingston ValueRam 667MHz, Kingston HyperX 800MHz, Corsair ValueRam 667MHz and Corsair XMS2 800MHz), and results are all the same, system locks up after a few minutes of memory testing. Bios settings are set to fail safe defaults. I tested all my components on the other motherboard and everything works perfectly. What may be the problem? Thanx
