this one:

Newegg.com - ASUS P5K-E/WIFI-AP LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards

or this one:

Newegg.com - DFI LP LT X38-T2R LGA 775 Intel X38 ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards

i will be overclocking and wanna get a mb that overclocks really well

They are both good clocking mobos but the DFI has tons more overclocking options as well as a few features that make it more future proof (PCI-E 2.0 and such).

agreed. the DFI is better. but for the price difference... i don't know if i could justify the DFI..

Get this one instead. It has the silentpipe cooling for the NB rather than the huge upright cooler. All of the reviews i have read say that the cooler that comes with the LT make using a big aftermarket cpu cooler almost impossible.

Yes i spent most of my day yesterday researching DFI boards because i plan on going crossfire

 

[Peter.Cort]

mmm. crossfire is fun and are you gonna get some 4870's?

 

[veedubfreak]

Thats the plan.

 

[Peter.Cort]

when is this gonna happen? And is your WC loop gonna be the gfx cards too?

 

[hitmanj]

i plan on going crossfire with 4870's too.

so which one is better?
