Looking for input on a new board Socket 775 with 4 memory slots

[comtech1234]

My current board, MSI MS-7350 is starting to fail. I lost CHA Slot 2 and is causing memory errors.

I have a Core 2 Quad 6600 2.4ghz, 8gb 4x2 Mushkin ram, EVGA gt 740 OC, and windows 7.

I want to overclock to 3 plus. I have the sufficient water cooling to do so. I know in that line for the 775 I won't get 3.0 headers. I just want to keep my current parts a live. I'm og and still haven't had the time to part with my current system. I have an xbox one so thats all the current gen I need for now.

What boards do you recommend in the 775 series to support c2q with 4 ram slots that has decent ocing features.

So my assumption is correct. I saw that board in the list on pcpartpicker but was skeptical as some people said intel chipsets for the 775 are the best to go with. At $42 brand new, I do think thats my best option. Do you agree?

P43 is an Intel chipset: http://ark.intel.com/products/36525/Intel-82P43-Graphics-and-Memory-Controller-Hub

Bah forgive me. I'm morning blind and haven't had my coffee yet. I'm getting that board.

Do they ship it with the IO Backplate?

Yes if you buy it new. Contact the seller if buying used.

I have a GA-P43T-ES3G, The T in the number means DDR3. Bought a Modified Xeon Quad X5472 to fit 775 board from this site for $27.00 and works great. Here is some DDR2 boards, they are used or refurbished because they are not made anymore. http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=708045&initiative_id=AS_20160218125326&SearchText=p45+ddr2
