Quad OCing Mobo Needed

[Turophiliac]

As the title suggests, I am looking for a new motherboard to get the most out of my Q9550. The one I have overclocked my dual core nicely, but it doesn't like to play well with my quad. I was thinking a P45 chipset would be good, and I was looking at the Biostar T-Power board, which overclocks dual cores nicely, but I don't know about quads.

 

My stipulations:

It has to have great quad-core overclocking skills.

It needs 2 PCIe x16 2.0 slots (SLI NOT NECESSARY.)

It has to be ATX.

I need to buy it for less than 200 USD.

 

Thanks!

Got an MSI P45 Platinum if you are interested. It was able to push my Q9450 to a 515MHz FSB.

My gigabyte overclocked my Q9450 like a champ, and for $150 it's a steal!. Assuming CCokeman doesn't hook you up first

I have a Gigabyte X48T-DQ6 that I'm trying to sell which overclocks quads like there's no tomorrow.

+1 on P45

the X38/48 are also good, but P45 is better price/performance-wise.

 

And yes, P45's do overclock quads pretty nicely

Just remember to get decent cooling for the CPU and NB (zip-tie a fan )
