    Hey guys I am thinking about getting an E2140 and overclocking the balls off of it. What are your oppinions about the best overclockers board sub $150 ??? Is there one board in pariticular that stands out?

    So far I have been looking at the Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R , which appears to be hit and miss whether you get a good board or not , or the Asus PK5 which is supposedly really very with a little modification with a pencil.

    All suggestions and oppinions are encouraged .

    Cheers
    Chris

    Just tought i would throw my oar in, did you think about any of the boards with the 680i chipset, very good for overclocking, and very easy to get stable overclocks for very little effort, IMHO!

    Though in saying that, im sure you have probably already got your mind set on one of the P35 boards!!!

    I'm going to assume you meant EUR, In that case I'd go for the Asus P5K-E, It's a deluxe without the second LAN port and a heatpipe to the southbridge. Looks to be a great deal for a little more than the vanilla P5K.

    yes, the deluxe has better power regulation for the cpu - does away with the ridiculous 'pencil mod'. It also has more bios options, but most of them are really scary unlikely to ever be used.
