We posted our review of Gigabyte’s P35C-DS3R today, which you should check out if you have your sights set on a P35 board. It offers great performance for the price, although it’s overclocking ability left a bit to be desired. Still, a very solid offering from Gigabyte. Also, don’t miss Nate’s exhaustive look at two good headsets, Medusa 5.1 and Sennheiser HD555, before making a purchase decision. One’s stereo while the other is 5.1, and depending on what you use your PC for most, each headset has clear advantages in different areas.
While the board won’t be for hardcore overclockers, it still offers lots of OC’ing room for those who want high CPU frequencies without the benefit of a major FSB overclock. In truth, 450FSB may have been the limit thanks to our fanless NB/SB, but I didn’t proceed with extensive testing to see if that was the case. Most people won’t want to ghetto-mod fans inside their case to keep these two cool. The fact is handled 450FSB with modest heatsinks is good.
