If you are not doing SLI then absolutely get a P35

most of them are good look into the
GA-P35-DS3R $130
Abit IP35 $ dunno but should be close to $150

the DS3P is basically the same board as the DS3R except it has 2 x16 PCIe if you want to do Crossfire which seems like you dont since you dont want SLI.
 
it also has the bigger better chipst cooler.. i really like that msi board tho..
 
i highly suggest looking at gigabytes P35-DS3R/P35-S3L/P35-DS3 and Abits IP35. the gigboards run roughly from 94-129, the abit one is 149 if i recall correctly.

If you just planning on a single video card stick with the P35. If going SLI for under 150 then you need to look at the NV650i or find a used NV680I board.

Appears not to many programs work correctly with G0 revsion cpu.On water cooling with 80F ambient,it is impossible to have those temps.:thup:
 
@mudd
well i have the IP35-Pro and dont have this issue. i havent read about this double reboot issue with either of the ip35's in the lower segment on XS. the lat time there was a double reboot issue i knew of it was the abit AB9/Pro boards.
 
my board does the dual reboot and it only occurs on cold boots, seriously I dont understand why people complain so much about this, it is ridiculous and a lot of Intel chip boards do it. It is not a "new" issue or such an issue for that matter.
 
Take newegg results like a grain of salt,

To be honest MSI boards aren't always the best,

Like the others the IP35 abit and the Gigabytes P35 series are all good :thup:

I agree about the MSI board comment. I had a MSI board with my Opteron and it was the biggest piece of junk. It wouldn't overclock worth a damn.

My brother is telling me that the reason some board oc better than other is because of 6 layer pcb vs less. Is this true?

if it was true the intel 975x badaxe motherboard would be the best 975x ocing mobo. The abit aw9d-max it the best 975x ocing mobo out there and has less layer then the intel badaxe.
