Hey guys,

One of my friends recently upgraded his computer and is giving me his Q9450. I am trying to find a motherboard that will let me overclock it as much as possible. I currently have an e8400 running at 3.8 on a Gigabyte 965P-DS3 (rev 3.3), and while it says it'll support the Q9450 I don't think it'll give enough juice to overclock it much. I've read that the Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P is pretty solid but can't seem to find them in stock anymore. I would like to keep my DDR2 memory and not spend more than $100 if possible. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Thanks.

Will this be a good build to overclock 2500k to 5.0GHz?

I'm the one that told him that a Silver Arrow will get to 5Ghz, so I'll take the blame...
