P5K Premium issue

[thefiddler]

Well, I still have to try using SATA ports 3-5 before giving up, but I'm beginning to wonder which mobo I could buy to replace this P5K Premium.

I'm doing multimedia work as well as games with this computer, I'd like to overclock my Q6600 (G0), and I'm using single-GFX card configuration and do not plan on using CrossFire or SLI. I need RAID capabilities.

I guess my choices are:
- Asus P5K Premium (and hope it'll be better?)
- Asus P5K-E /Wifi-AP
- Abit IP35-Pro
- Gigabyte P35-DQ6
- Gigabyte P35-DS4
- or a X38 board instead?


I just saw many shops here in here Belgium aren't selling the Gigabyte P35-DQ6 anymore... any obvious reason for that?

Any advice would be welcome here.

They just replace them with X38, also I ordered a P5K DLX for friend , my shop never could get it ( Cloetens main importer doesn't even have them on the list anymore)...

Also I'm pretty happy with my Maximus formula (1.02G there is already a 1.03G), apparently the P5E is practically the same board with less voltage control/temp readout and not the extra bling the Maximus has...but it clocks as good as. Secondly I wouldn'ty go for P35 as the X38 boards are almost the same in price...and on par in performance, just the biosses need to mature a bit more...

I just build a rig with a P35DS4 rev2.0 (other heatpipe design & bios F7 out of the box) , very nice board goes easily up to 400FSB, but I wouldn't go higher on that one for longterm stability... seems a bit less build ( less power mosfets and co) as the DQ6 and Asus DLX boards
