asus question

I going to buy a intel 2.8 chip socket 775. what asus board would be good for this cpu. If you can let me know about a few models. Please help if you can.

Thank You

 

P5ND2-SLI
P5AD2 Premium
P5WD2 Premium
These are all good boards and will seve well!

 

Thanks for the advice. I was thinking on getting the P5GPL or P5GD2-X. I heard the chipset on the P5GD2-X gets hotter than normal. Is that true.

 

I dont know if that is true or not but it does look like it has a crappy heatsink on the chipset!
If your worried about overheating just by a better heatsink for it!

 

I was thinking about change the heatsink on it. would you know of a good brand that would work.

 

Zalman and Thermaltake make excellent heatsinks!
Consider a Thermaltake 'Orb' model.
if you dont have your heart set on ASUS you might consider these >
ABIT AA8XE
Gigabyte GA-8GPNXP
ALBATRON PX915-G Pro

 

those motherboards that you show which one can update bios there windows. Just like asus can. Gigabyte would be good i like them also.

 

I think ABIT can update through windows but i dont know about the others!
Its not really necessary is it?

 

Thanks for all the help. I will check out abit. i heard that its a good board for OC.

 

If money doesnt matter you could get the AA8XE Fatal1y board which is basically designed purely for gaming and is extremely customised and rock solid!

 

Cool I will check it out. Thanks alot
