Best Mobo for Q6600?

[bleeckerx]

Hey guys, I'm looking for suggestions on the best motherboard to drop a Q6600 into - the 2 biggest factors to me are

 

1.) OCing up to 3.2ghz on air

 

and

 

2.) General OSX compatibility - what works the best OTB. I'm planning on using Leo4allv3 if that makes a difference.

 

I was gonna get the GA-P35-DS3L but newegg is out of stock and I figure I might as well see what else is out there... should I stick with Gigabyte and grab a GA-EP35-DS3L?

Every Gigabyte P35 will be fine, got one myself, you will get the best out of your money with those boards.

What about the coming P45 boards? Will they be compatible enough for a hack?

I have a q6600 running at 3.4GHz with the stock cooler on a GA-P35-DS3P. It's a great board, loads of USB, a couple of Firewire & two slots for graphics cards. I just run with a 7300GT & one monitor but my wife's system has the same motherboard with 2 x Nvidia Quadro NVS 285 & four monitors!
