intel D975XBXLKR and overclocking

[JSF35rhino]

i considering a couple of MB for my next core 2 build . i do need to get a decent OC out of it.

i am considering the gigabyte DS-3 ,asus p5b, the DFI infinity 975x the MSI 975x and i have been seeing a few good deals on intel d975xbxlkr's . now overclocking and intel don't normaly go togeather . but i've heard that with a little conductive ink mod that this MB can do very well.

i would like to have a MB that can at least do 400fsb . not for this build but for future attempts . the MB that suits me best is the asus p5w-delux but there just too rich for me .

a 965 mb can do what i need but i sort of like the 975s and crossfire .

has anybody worked with the intel 975x MB that can give a few pointers on overclocking with it ?

thanks-jr

From what I've seen, you can barely beat the DS3 board for the E6300/6400. If you're running E6600 and above, look at the P5W DH.

I've used the DS3 and it won't go much above 370 or so FSB with the E6600, but it'll take a 6400 up to 3.6Ghz or more . P5W DH seems to be the best clocking board right now for the E6600, although the AW9 Max board from Abit might be very nice once it's widely available.

Or the P5B Dlx.
