I highly recommend Gigabyte. My mobo has been great. Everything runs
cool and stable but I don't overclock either
I have a asus board that does some pretty fair work on overclocking, but it

or some games in 6 seconds.. But it crashed after the first bios update..

What kind of computer are you looking for? If you are not a gamer but do
like to watch high res videos, go for a fanless video board. If you like to
do image processing, nvidia boards are also a good idea because of CUDA
capabilities..

I've just bought a 965 (a 1100T wouldn't boot despite being supported
by the latest bios). The CPU fan is very quiet when the system is
idling, but spins up a

Why not? The cooling I have is already more than my CPU needs and, most
importantly, is extremely quiet. The loudest noise on my PC is the hard
drive stepper motors.
