P35 MoBo - Which is the best for me?

[Wicked Akuba]

Hi,

I need a nice MB, which cost less than $150. Don't need many features like FireWire and others. I'm thinking about MSI NEO2-FR; ABIT IP35-E. Are there any better choices?

Don't offer ECS, DFI MoBos, we haven't got them here, in Lithuania.

Appreciate, Darius.

i am VERY happy with Gigabyte P35 which is overclocker dream board. It lets me oc e6300 @1.8ghz to 2.8Ghz without any problems. Going to push it higher once i have time to mess around + better memory.

I was thinking about Gigabyte P35-DS3P. If i i'm right, it's just "cutted features" DS4?

i got the GA-P35-DS3L for $94.00 US Retail. Pretty decent price for something i can pick-up in 15min drive. You can look up the differences on Gigabyte website on DS4 vs. DS3L but just make sure you get the "All-SOLID State Capacitors" boards.

Thanks, Err0r404 for your opinion.

imo the IP35-E is better than the P35-DS3L but the DS3P is better than either if you need it's extra features.

For around $150, the Gigabyte DS3P is hard to beat. Has very good features for the price and overclocks well.

The GA-P35C-DS3R died on me after a series of problems, I would not recommend that board to anyone.

I'm happy with my IP35-E. Have it running an e6400 @ 2.8GHz (stock cooling sucks or I would go higher) and it's as stable as can be.
