Strange Comparison

[MotF Bane]

I currently have a Gigabyte GA-965G-DS3 that despises being overclocked.

The GA-965P-S3 costs about 110, the GA-965P-DS3 costs about 150, and the ASUS P5B Deluxe costs 200.

There isn't even so much of a budget, it's an already built rig, I'm looking to just change it for overclocking friendliness.

Which of those three boards would be the best replacement?

The Asus P5B Deluxe is probably the best of those. Maybe a Gigabyte 965P DS3 Revisions 2 when the release. I'd also consider the Biostar P965 PT. (The only Biostar board at newegg with a p965 chipset). Overclocks better than the S3 and is the same price. Also the Asus P5B-E. Or the DFI Infinity 975X, which can go to 450 FSB with the new bios and hangs with the best of them. I'm a little biased in support of DFI though.

I have a C2D E6400

Didn't think that DFI made Intel boards

Thanks though

if price isnt a concern and you like dfi, you could always wait till rd600

i have the 965p-DS3 and i love it, i have my e6400 at 3.4ghz running 6+ hours on orthos, was debating on getting the p5b also but the ds3 was on sale at new egg at the time of my purchase so i bought that, cant go wrong with either from what i have seen
