The Asus P5Pro has no overheating problems. Its one of the best P45 chipsets from Asus, apart from the RoG series. Your vendor is naive.

S

i already buy all component except the mobo,i am waiting for your suggesting mobo.
some frnd advice me to buy abit ip35 pro but the mobo little bit old chip set and pci express slot slow.

@OP:
You plan to OC the system...? Which PSU you have..?

S

no i dont need to oc. i have corsair 650watt psu., pls suggest quickly, i want to buy mobo today so hurry.

S

mainly i confuse between two mobo one is p5q pro & Abit ip35 pro

^^
Go for ASUS. Much better

S

asus p5q pro better or Gigabyte GA-EP45 UD3P is better ?

^^
Both are just as good. Get the cheaper one....!

S

what about customer support between them in kolkata & can u pls tell me where the gigabyte board available in kolkata ?

Not sure about Kolkata friend. Sorry. Though ASUS/Gigabyte are reputable brands, the service levels should be good. Check out their websites if you need more information, and see if service stations are available within your city.

S

thanks man but i worried about GA-EP45 UD3P, as newegg review somebody said the mobo has memory slot problem

Gigabyte has much better After Sales Service. DOn't buy ASUS as from what I have heard, ASUS has BIOS issues in non RoG boards and very poor A.S.S.

For a good vendor in Kolkatta, try www.exoduspc.in
He is a good dealer from what many forum members tell me. Take his contact number from the website.

Please do not read reviews on egg. Most of the guys there are noobs. Read official sites for reviews.

.

Not sure about the P5Q Pro (non-Republic of Gamers) after sales service. But the BIOS has absolutely no issue. I can say this, cause I was about to get this board initially and read many reviews. No issue with BIOS. Did not get this board since it was not available that time. But later on I did read, that it is difficult to run the RAM at JEDEC#2 at times.

BTW there is no need to go for that expensive asus board , your current hardware doesnt justify it . Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3R should be max and that too if you are into some extreme overclocking .

Dont waste so much on a DDR2 based mobo and also are you going to get a crossfire setup in near future ? If not even a sub 5k mobo will be more then enough but its your money to be burned !!

No point buying C2D at this time when i5, Phenom II etc are available.

S

what about MSI P45 T-C51 ? is it a good stable board?
