ASUS P5Q SE

[SkyLine@Luc]

Hi Guys, it's X-Mas soon, so i thought of a new Mainboard, just like an 'ASUS P5Q SE'. :D

 

I'll use this Board with a NVidia GTX 260 GFX Card and a Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200, which i want to overclock, if the Components are working well together.

 

So, i wanna ask, if the board is going to have these options, like OverClocking my CPU and the GFX Card.:confused:

 

I don't want to pay more than 80-90 € for a Mainboard.

You also are allowed to suggest another Mainboard, which you mean is going to work aswell or even better.

 

I also mull over the Heat Pipe Cooling, but these Mainboards with such a cooling are a lot expensiver than i want to pay for :-x

 

I hope you can help me out :thumbsup:

 

Thanks in advance;)

Well, yes, this mainboard has the Overclocking functions for the CPU. GFX overclocking doesn't depend on your mainboard, you can use the tool "Rivatuner" for it.

Asus might have a bad support depending on your country. Here, in Germany, it's really bad. So you might take a look on Gigabyte or something. That might be the better choice. Are you thinking of SLi? Then you'd need a board with a nForce chipset and minimum 2 graphics card slots.

 

Edit: just took a look at it. There are quite a few boards out there for less than 90€ with that "fancy-dancy" heatpipe cooling. But the choice depends on your future plans, SLi or not etc. You might even upgrade on DDR3, but that would be a little too pricy.
