What board to get for overclocking a Pentium D 820?

[Jebus]

Topic says it all, I have been looking at the Foxconn board and the Abit board and was wondering if anyone had any experience with either. I like the 945 chipset (955 is good to, but I don't want to lay out a bunch of $$$). I will be putting a Pentium D 820 in and I will be cooling with water.

I say you will want a 955X Chipset. I would venture to say they are binned to be faster than the 945s

ASUS P5WD2 Premium is an outstanding mobo.

well, i cant tell u first hand, but from what ive been reading the Asus 955x premium is about the best out there, and price has dropped since it was introduced

Yeah, to echo what others have said, I've heard good things about the ASUS P5WD2 Premium. Disclaimer though - I haven't yet personally built an Intel dual core system.

For those that have, please share suggestions for an aftermarket HSF combo for a chance at a good overclock on air for Pentium D 8x0 CPUs.

It does look like a great board, but it is certainly not very cheap.

I like my Abit AW8-MAX...but I'm a loyal Abit fan, never dealt with Asus.
