I just built my Conroe system on a Gigabyte DS3 and it came with their F3 bios. It supported C2D right out of the box with no problems.

Gigabyte DS3, DS4, DQ6. Asus P5B, P5B Deluxe, P5W-DH. Asrock Conroefire or something like that. MSI 975x Platnium. Intel 975XBX. Abit AW9D (not released yet). DFI Infinity 975x.

These are what I know of so far.

Those would be the list of all overlclokcing over 300FSB boards available-IMO, the Gigabyte DS3 is the best bang for the buck at the moment (its $140 compared with $200+).

Yes, but I'm still not too sure about that passave heatsink cooling on the NB. Add a fan or swap it out.
