  • Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4 alternative?

    I have the motherboard in the title that I think is failing. Looking for an ASUS alternative from today's available boards. Want something with good overclock potential for a Q6600 as I got the one I have today from 2.4GHz to 3.6GHz and may want to bring it back to that vacinity with the new board. Would need similar specs since I want all four of my current RAM modules to go back in and to be able to connect all my hard drives again (today 3 + 2DVD). And of course the same processor type support. Thanks for any input.

    You'll have a hard time finding a P35 board these days. Your best bet is to look on eBay.

    Look for one of these models.
