This board seems to be going for around $145, I was leaning towards Abit IP35 PRO but it's a little more expensive. Can't seem to find many reviews and was wondering if anybody has any experience with this particular board. I definitely want a board with built in RAID. Is this board any better than the DSR3? I know it has an extra pcie 16x slot but really don't plan on using it anyway. I started to look for an alternative to the ABIT because my roomate just got one and he said he had to fix the NB heatpipe in order to overclock, apparently it wasn't installed properly or something like that. Also, would it be worth it to step up to the DS4 for the improved heatpipe it has?
I already ordered a q6600 G0 and 2x1 gb crucial ballistix 800mhz. I plan to reuse an 8800gt, corsair hx520 power supply and tuniq tower from my old rig.
I would like to be able to overclock to at least 3.2, although would love to be able to get to 3.6 with my ram running at rated speed (800mhz 4-4-4-12)
Also, is it true that Gigabyte P35 boards don't let you change the fsb strap and that this may cause memory performance to decrease when overclocking?
I'm coming from an AMD 939 rig so all that strap business is new to me maybe someone can clear that up...
