I'd like a new mobo for my C2Q that wont break the bank - Page 2

The problem with getting a decent 775 motherboard.... there just aren't any available anymore (not that any of them were all that great to begin with)

If you find someplace that has some let me know. I've got an entire set up minus mobo sitting here collecting dust that I wouldn't mind putting together.

I would also like to get as much OCíng out of this Q9550 as I can because I enjoy it not for the end result as much but the process.

You will be cpu limited if you decide to crossfire.

Lots of people moving on to SB so there should be more soon enough knocking around on eBay hopefully.

Maybe even these boards

I am surprised no one has offered up a trade or sale for an older board on these forums for you

My wife's motherboard just crapped out and the onn place that I could find a 775 socket MB was on Newegg.com (they seemed to have the most options from brands to models).

Abit IP35 Pro seems to be about the same OC limit on this cpu as the p5q-poo

I just worked out the numbers and a SB upgrade would be cheaper IF I get a decent price for my stuff and buy the cheapest motherboard....So

Cheap good SB mobo advice please
