Help me decide between these two boards based on which would be the best balance of overclocking and features without exceeding the $180 mark. I want to drop a Penryn based chip in when they come out and clock the beast to 4GHz, hopefully. I know the IP35 Pro can probably take the FSB higher, but the 650i based Asus board allows me to set the FSB independently from the memory so I dont have to buy performance RAM. Which should I choose, and why?



Im on the overclocking upgrade warpath! :sol:

TY,

i would have to go with the Asus.

1) I hear it overclocks better

2) I'm an Asus fan!

I would say either would be great choices. I haven't heard very much positive things about both of them. P35 is supposed to overclock quad-cores a bit better then nForce 600 chipsets, so you might want to take that into account. The Asus board should support Penryn, but I would be sure double check that, as some 600 series boards don't.

Unless you're wanting to go SLI I'd go with the P35, or wait a little bit and get an X38 or 780i board.
