| [Mobo] new board for Q6700 or QX6850
hi all,
not sure which chip I will be using with it, but I am looking for a mobo. looking to see experiences with the following boards (in no particular order) :
1. DFI LanParty P35-T2R
2. Gigabyte EP35-DS4
3. Abit IP35 Pro
4. Asus P5 Deluxe or Premium
I have to admit I use to be a big Asus fan, but not really any more. I've had too many troubles with them, and since I've gotten my Gigabyte and built an Abit as well, I've got two new favorites 
I'm really looking to see if anyone has had PWM issues. I've seen other Abit boards with the issue, not really this one though.
the DFI is the one I'm most interested in, as I have played with a DFI board since my Ultra Infinity 
thanks in advance! -- no one is listening |

| I have the Abit IP35 Pro, I like it a lot.
My board has a vdroop of .03v though, I believe there is a droop mod to fix that.
The board is well designed, I love the read I/O panel CMOS switch. It's very handy when tinkering with the BIOS. The BIOS also lets you save 5 profiles. For me that saved a lot of time to tweak things here and there without having to set every single setting every time I had to do a hard shut down. |
