Q6600 B3 on a P5B Dlx: delayed vdroop

[jonny_ftm]

Why ASUS? I don't know in fact. Most reviews put the ASUS on the top of the line. But, all my ASUS cards had bugs: bios issues, RAID, Sound, SATA2 incompatibility, vcore PLL... (these are all broken advertised functions on the P5K premium and some of them on the Maximus)

Many of them are still unresolved. I really don't understand how such cards can go retail sometimes when most of the advertised functions are just broken.

The problem, is that Gigabyte is lazy on bios updates and my old MSI and Gigabyte cards had bugs and bluescreens with XP 2-3 years ago, so I switched to ASUS

Also, the P35-DQ6 and X38 from gigabyte got worst reviews than the P5K premium and Maximus... So, it is really hard to decide which crappy card is best (as it seems with their bioses they are all crappy actually)

I saw the reviews on the Gigabyte DQ-6 series, and I'm not convinced. ASUS is crap, but at leaste after a year they fix their bioses

Abit, I may take a look at it, I really never watched at reviews with the Abit P35 and a quad core. You know any of them?

Many thanks again for your help

Ok, looked at the Abit IP35 Pro: it has some drwabacks sadely

No way to do a vdroop mod using a pencil: it badly vdroops for a quadcore, so overclocking will be really limited above 1.5v

It won't fit my HR-09U and HR-05 IFX

I think I'll be soon very limited with my Q6600 G0 if I needed 1.5v-1.6v to reach >3.8GHz
