I want to know some models of best and cheapest LGA 775 motherboards that can overclock Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.83GHz to at least 3.6GHz.
This guy overclocks this CPU in very low cost motherboard:

I also found Gigabyte EP35-DS3 board in their official site, but it is not available in eBay now. :(

Please I need some advice on this. Thank You.
 
Solution
hard to say seeing your dealing with old out dated and obsolete platform ? unless this is a just for fun project to overclock I cant say buying something is worth it unless near free [opinion]

anything by asus or gigabyte in this selection would be good enough... assuming the caps are good
the asus p5 range in particular were decent overclockers.
if you can find 1 the dfi lan party was the overclocking king.

also check that the motherboard you buy is actually compatible with that chip as not all 775 socket boards supported the later iterations of core 2 quads.
some had bios updates others just dropped support for the later gen of cpu's on older boards.
