4-Way Intel P35 Motherboard Overclocking Roundup
 
In this group test we compare the overclocking capabilities and performance of 4 motherboards based on the mid-range P35 Intel chipset. From the low cost Asus P5K, affordable Foxconn P35AP-S and MSI Platinum Combo to the expensive DFI P35 Lanparty, which one will come out on top? Find out in this article.

the madshrimps roundup attack on motherboard reviews, I'd be affraid if I was still writing the outdated one motherboard reviews


Foxconn really works on their street cred with that board

Owning a P5K myself, good performance considering its price, and not too overloaded with BIOS features which hardly make a difference and are too complicated to understand for people who just jumped in.

Liked the article btw :)

Can't beat the Asus P5K board in both price and performance.

You can by overclocking ;)

if you overclock,how will you beat the price/performance value? since FSB OCing hardly has any effect in real world applications;)

I think it would be more noticable with a Quadcore, where the Vdrop is more important.

You and me have different definitions of overclocking ;). I see it as benching, you as cost-effective performance tweaking. In other words, I am willing to pay 45€ extra for a board which is faster, you're not.

I can second that, so am I ;) But the majority of people are not, unfortunately for the hardware vendors :D

but Massman, as a reviewer you'll have to look at both sides of the overclocking approach :)
