>> Great P45 Motherboard
I needed to upgrade an old PC so I started looking for a new Motherboard I already own the Asus P5Q Deluxe so I thought I would buy another one I couldn t find it anywhere so after alot of research I decided to buy this board
I put a Q9550 in this board with G Skill 5 5 5 15 1066 memory and everything worked without a hitch I currently have it overclocked to 3 6ghz with smaill bios tweeks I haven t tried any higher but I ll probably get this board up to 4ghz from what i ve read so far
Both the P5Q Deluxe and EP45 UD3P are great boards I would buy either one again They both have little quirks with the fans I use speedfan to control my fan speeds The plus with the Gigabyte is you can use a 3 pin CPU fan and still control the fan speed since it supports the ability to control the voltage in the Bios The P5Q doesn t support this so i needed a 4 pin CPU fan A plus for the Gigabyte
The P5Q has more fan headers and they work with speedfan The Gigabyte only has 2 usable headers excluding the cpu fan and only 1 can be controlled by speedfan I had to remove my top fan and use a Antec fan with a 3 speed switch A plus for the Asus
