A friend is getting a Q9550, now that they dropped, and is looking for a motherboard recommendation. I have been too busy tweaking my Q9450 on a asus commando for the past few months to keep up on the recent release of chipsets.
He wants a board that can provide very good oc abilities/potentials, without [H]ard cooling.
We have both been fans of asus boards for years and would like to keep our loyalty there, but I am open to researching other suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
Aslo, has DDR3 become cost-to-preformance viable now? Does the 2000+ speeds there are finally reaching justify the cost yet? I know it didn't when I bought my board 8 months ago or so... :/
