Turophiliac Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 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!

ccokeman Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Got an MSI P45 Platinum if you are interested. It was able to push my Q9450 to a 515MHz FSB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 My gigabyte overclocked my Q9450 like a champ, and for $150 it's a steal!. Assuming CCokeman doesn't hook you up first Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neosabre Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 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.

a93j202k Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) +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 ) Edited April 22, 2009 by hojin994 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
