Which 775 Micro-ATX motherboard was/is the best?

[Jonathan Phoenix]

Dear Members,

From the 775 Micro-ATX range what motherboard was the best?

To also consider, that the motherboard as to accommodate:

1. DDR3 2x 4GB RAM,
2. Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700, and
3. Have both small and large pci-e slots.

Thanks in advance for you help, in advance to any reply's.

Regards, Jonathan

FORGET the 775 socket. Its ANCIENT and you should not waste money on it.

Dear Novuake,

Thank you for your swift reply, but it has to 775 as that is what I have (hence the question), sorry.

Kind regards, Jonathan

Anyone???

I have looked on prior posts and ASUS Maximus II GENE seems to be the leader, but I maybe wrong.

HELP, please and even pretty please ;-)

I'd love to try and help, but Mobos for 775 are pretty old, I have no idea what is good or bad for 'em. Best of luck!

Dear LittleJerk,

Neither do I, that's why am asking the best forum...

 

[Novuake]

I can tell you which are good and which are not, but you won't actually be able to buy any of them.

Dear Novuake,

Thank you once agin to return to my thread, any help you can provide is better tthan no help at all.

I am currently looking on the ASUS, ASROCK, and GIGABYTE websites to establish the best produced 775 mobo's. I assume you can name the best 3 and if nessessary other suppliers, such as MSI.

Sorry to ask so much of you but it appears that only you wish to help me, at the moment.

Your help and assistance is greatly appreciated.

Kind regards, Jonathan

Hope to her

Well how are you going to acquire these boards?
How about you tell me what you can get and move from there.

Since going through those site is more than a simple hassle for something you will likely never be able to purchase.

P5G41-M SI

if you want USB3

If you don't, this one has a better chipset :

[Jonathan Phoenix]

What about the other suppliers?
Are they less superior to ASUS?
And, What would you pick if it was you? and why?

I have already got a usb 3.0 (x5) pci-e small slot for the usb option.

Thank you once again, Jonathan

 

[Novuake]

Well Asus is the most reputable and can OC well no matter WHAT.

 

[Novuake]

I would choose the G43 board.
