I'm considering upgrading my Gigabyte DS3 but I'm really not sure what to get.
I'm not an extreme overclocker. I prefer to only overclock to the point where cooling and noise levels aren't compromised. I'm currently running my E6600 @ 3.2 GHz and my idle temps are at 42-44C (TAT) with a Zalman 9500 on it's lowest speed. I'm thinking about the Intel 975 chipset or maybe even an Nvidia 680i. The only other 965 board I'd probably consider would be the P5B Deluxe.
Currently :
Gigabyte DS3
E6600 @ 3.2 GHz
2GB Patriot DDR2 6400
EVGA 8800 GTS
Silverstone Strider 600W PSU
Lite-On SATA DVDRW
36GB Raptor
250GB Hitachi
The DS3 is a good board and all but I've been using it since C2D debuted and I'm just itching to try something different. I'd like to keep using my Zalman 9500 so I suppose there are some motherboards that aren't going to work for me.
