I've owned the IC7-G Max II, and it's a very good 875P board. I only had one issue with the board and that was with the BIOS that came with the board being incompatible with my ram and video card, and after that was fixed I never had another issue with it.

Vcore droop is fairly small, although the vcore will fluctuate if you set it above 1.625V, but that can be fixed by doing the cap mod for the board.

If you get the IC7-G, you might want to include about 6-8 small HS's for sinking the mosfets while the board is out of your computer....... unless you have a spare HS laying around and you can make the HS's. The mosfets get pretty hot and having the HS's on can help stabilize your vcore a bit depending on how high your case temps are.

On the other hand, I've heard very good things about the DFI and I was even planning on buying it a while ago, but it's so expensive........ I went with the IC7-G because it's about 70 bucks less than the DFI (at least it was last time I checked) and the performance is about the same.

I love IC7 MAX3's, although my one is now useless for gaming (dead AGP). I would say go with the IC7-G. If your a modder, this board is very fun. So many mods to do with it, look at HiPro5's IC7/G/MAX3 mods. Although, if you aren't very good at soldering, I would get someone else to do it since some of them are a bit fiddly. Anyway, to answer your original question, IC7-G

Haha, enjoy the board. That's the one with the extra phase vcore design isn't it? Post a thread about how it works for you
