A few Asus big shots will come in and tell you otherwise, but Gigabytes are excellent for overclocking. My CPU clocked from 1.8Ghz to 3.15Ghz with ease.

has anyone bought a q6700 lately, are they any good?
i heard that intel is digging deep for the last few chips and that they don't clock well. is this true or are ppl just noobs at overclocking?

I could have sworn you told us you were older than that before Abuzar, and if there's one thing I can't stand it's people who lie about their age on forums, and I genuinely mean that.
im: I have an E4300.

and let me tell ya, the support in the US is so bad, you start thinking of just buying a new motherboard.....i mean it took them almost 1 month to replace the mobo and i was only 3 states away, they were "testing" it to see if i abused it.....

Well, the bigger issues is the 680i in general, certainly not just ASUS. Notice DFI doesn't even push 680 anymore for over a year now? Go for the Q6700 for the price and multi. all quads are hard to OC on low multi, high FSB so the Q6700 will give you more of an edge on thos not willing to challange the quad FSB OC but you now can now tweak trd (on supported BIOS) to regain what lower FSB lost. It works mostly for numbers but not the best for real world since lots of voltages need to be cranked up to keep chipset stable and cooled.

got to watch my $ right now as I just bought a set of klipsch promedia ultra 5.1's and I'm saving for a new ride but if I can find a 9450 1/2 price, I'll put it on the plastic ;)
How do you like your Q9450? I am not all too thrilled with mine in the area of FSB overclocking and use of trd in chipset OC is way too much stress on overall system, especially on dividers, not to mention the amount of FSBT, and PLL to get them up there.

what asus mobos have you had experience with? no mobo wars but I will let you in on some of my experiences with asus. firstly, only go with their high end intel based mobos. stay away from their low-mid level mobos and those with nvidia chipsets. if you want a lower-mid priced mobo, go with a gigabyte.
I had my asus P5W DH Deluxe WiFi and E6600 OC'ed to 3.6ghz 24/7 no problems. set it back to 3.2ghz cause I'm gonna loan it to my brother. my asus rampage formula and E3110 is running at 4.0ghz 24/7 no problems.
I agree their customer support is far from great but you won't need it with a top end intel based mobo. they're getting better. I had to call asus customer support with a question on my latest build and I got right through. absolutely no hold time. they even gave me the correct answer. I have never had to RMA a top end asus mobo. they just work and I'm yet to find a better bios. I seriously doubt I will ever stray away from top end asus intel based mobos.

Mort - I don't mean to be harsh, but you still defend Asus with a very immature manner. I didn't say that any other motherboard manufacturer was better. Corsair make RAM and PSUs, etc. and the problems I've seen occur with that are pretty darn low - lower than for any motherboard manufacturer I know of.
Sometimes it seems the only reason you chime in these days is to protect your beloved global semiconductor corporation...

sam,
I am merely sticking up for what has worked best for me in the way of mobos. ppl are too willing to bash asus just because they had problems with one of their lower end models or one that is nvidia based and had to involve asus's poor customer support.
I am only saying in regards to top end intel based mobos, asus is one of the best. myself and a most the high-end OC'ers can't all be wrong can we. don't badmouth general motors just because your vega was a piece of $hit. GMC makes cadillacs too. you got what you paid for. see ya and good luck all. I obviously don't have any flocking idea what I'm talking about since I don't have a clue when it comes to OC'ing or dependability.
use what you will. my immature a$$ is done here.

Then I'm going to be brutally honest here and say exactly how I feel.
So be it - we youngsters may not know it all, but at least we're the slightest bit open minded. Ever since buying the Rampage Formula you've been a disgrace to this thread posting nothing but your amazement for how good it is and how everyone who gets in the way of that is wrong, supposedly.
I used to regard you very highly and think of you as someone who knew where it was at with all this. You've left me very disappointed.
