It would also get down to if you want run with DDR-2 or DDR-3. A lot have there favored boards based on what/how they bench. (2D or 3D or RAM ) Thats why you will find that most will have several different boards in their stock Manufacture wise I would say Asus & Gigabyte. I know all the other fellas will chime in shortly, but what I like to do is search the submissions results at bot and look at the top 10 boards used for CPU Frequency and Motherboard Reference clock (FSB) and MAX Memory clock. Then compare how many are TOP in all 3 and work my way from there but keeping in mind DDR-2 or DDR-3. Off the top of my head I have: Asus Rampage Formula Gigabyte GIGABYTE GA-P35C-DS3R EVGA 780i SLI I have a whole lot more used for various OCin/Benching uses but those are the ones that come to mind at this moment

Asus Rampage Extreme DDR3 or Rampage Formula DDR2 are good choices and are both X48 or some of the other Asus P5E3 boards In P45 Asus P5Q3-WifiDeluxe or Gigabyte EP45T-UD3P or R. One thing of Note is the Gigabyte EP45-UD3P is the best board for C2Q 45nm just look at the top 10 results on the Bot for Q9550, Q9650 All 65nm and 45nm C2D the Asus boards genrally fair better.
Forget the Nvidea chipped boards they are slow only good for SLI and who is going to bench Graphics on 775.

the asus looks good to me the gigabyte really that good the one I had fried on me but it was the sli one it had that cheap ass heatsink like those got you gotta take them off and remove the clips and put thermal pads or paste on the north bridge and use zip strips to keep it solid to the board they wobble around like a drunk lmao but out of 3 boards that me and my 2 buddies bought 1 still works lmao 9 years later I was gonna get a EVGA one 780i or 790i for when they have those old school contests maybe run 2 old ass sli cards I dont really do ram oc I dont know much about it

in ddr3 the asus rampage extreme is known to be king in x48 chipset
p45 its a toss up IMO between asus and gig and like any board, cpu, gpu, ram, is the silicone lottery and that applies to the rampage extreme and formula too

have you guys ever used a gigabyte GA-X48T-DQ6 DDR3 or a GA-X48-DS5 DDR2 mobos the 2 asus boards I found were both $200

They should be Ok the GA-X48T-DQ6 DDR3 should go alright.

DFI LP LT X48 - T2R go hard too, (if you can get hold of 1) i have 1 here and have done many subs with it, but i damaged the pins in the socket a while back also have a GIG EP45T EXTREME DDR3, that used to go good too until it just stopped booting

With this bunch of hardware junkies here, I believe one way or another just about most platforms have been run here We like stuff

ever since the X series chipsets nvidia could not keep up. this is of course my own opinion i have had a few nvidia S775 Boards and was not happy.
anything with a 533 fsb old celly's that can't boot past 200fsb asus commando (p965 chipset) or old low end 5 series p4's for that matter anything with 200 fsb or greater rampage formula for ddr2 and rampage extreme for ddr3 both X48 chipsets
P45 chipset for if your going to mod for S771 Xeons personally i like the P5Q range.
i have had a couple of gigabyte boards and again like the nvidia boards not too shabby but nothing to jump for joy about IMHO
i will be heading back to S775 with my REX myself after im done Humping 1366 on my RIIIEX.
and yes seriously if there is a benchmark for a F**kin tooth Brush you can bet we will be humping that too like it owes us money or something

what about a Asus P5W DH Deluxe I see there are lots of submissions with it you guys tried one of these or the Asus P5K I guess I should just find as many as I can that have lots of submissions with good results I kinda wish they had a better filter on HWBOT to check shit out easier lol

P5W-DH is a 975X chipped board they are good for 533 bussed celerons they are the brother to the Commando which is P965 one thing with the P5W the sata tends to play up but you just remove the raid chip and that fixes them completely. For everythng else other than the 533 bus ones you can find better. BTW your Geekbench3 sub with Win 10 is illegal on the HWBot front page look in CPU benchmarks and click on the rules for Geekbench. Here is a snip of the W10 allowed benches. Dont worry about that sub but one day someone will probably report it and it will get taken down.

The reason that Win8/10 is disallowed for a lot of the benches is that when it boots it reads the Motherboard clock but then uses the CPU frequency to keep time. If you boot it up then lower the frequency a bit with software then run your bench it gives the bench a longer time to run enhancing the score. Of course XP and Win7 use the motherboard clock to keep time while they are running the reason Microsoft changed the way it works is they wanted to create the universal operating system that worked on everything. You will also find that XP works the best on some of the older Benches like SPI, Pifast, 3D01, 03,05 so I wold get that as well as a copy of Win7 the only time I use Win 10 is for the latest Futuremark benches like Timespy and Firestrike especially with a DX12 card.

The boards that caught my eye Gigabyte GA-X48-DQ6, Asus P5Q & P5Q3 Deluxe and the Asus Commando, all though would rather have the DDR3 version of the Gigabyte.

I dumped a bunch of hardware 6/7 years ago, the pickup site was at the high school thought it was a donation to the school, turned out it was a recycle pickup. Was shocked when they cut the power cords off a couple CRT monitors while I was watching, lost 3 or 4 new AGP VGAs still with the shrink wrap on the packaging that I'd picked up when a local computer store went out of business plus a couple dual socket 370 MBs not counting RAM and HDs, still have nightmares about that experience.
