dworley said:FYI: eWiz has the new Foxconn G9657MA-8KS2H C2D mATX Motherboard in stock!
I ordered one and will post my overclocking results for my C2D E6400 compared to my 680i results.
Dillusion said:They would love too, but there is no chipset yet that can do that. NV is rumored to come out with a new IGP for intel soon,but we have no info on it yet.
Zap said:Of course there are chipsets that can do that - ones that don't have IGP. Motherboard manufacturers just don't want to use them on mATX, that's all. There have been some. Foxconn made a mATX board using the Nforce4 chipset (though not great overclocker). eVGA made a mATX board using the Nforce4 SLI chipset. Heck BITD I bought a mATX AOpen board using the Intel 845D chipset - that was a rare find. My in-laws are still using that to this day in a nice mATX system.
I don't think there would be any technical issue with putting an enthusiast chipset onto a mATX design with overclocking as high as any full ATX board. What stops it is probably marketing - the mobo manufacturers probably still don't think they'd get enough of an ROI on such a board to make it worth their while.
rosco1011 said:still, the board is advertised as an overclocker - evidenced by standard overclocking profiles in the bios. other 965 chipset boards allow locking of pci-e, i believe, so it's not a matter of intel not developing it in the G965. i'm prepared to believe that it has been disabled though - perhaps to ensure the integrated graphics remain operational ??
stealthrt said:Does anyone know as of right now what the best overclock motherboard for the core 2 duo is? I need to order one before monday rolls around for a christmas gift so any input would be great!!!
Im looking to take the e6300 to around 2.5-3Ghz.
Only thing i need this motherboard to do is work well with photoshop CS2 type stuff. It will NOT be used for gaming if that helps..

great, cheap transition board for someone switching from DDR to DDR2...
Also, are there any C2D SLI micro ATX boards coming out in the next few months.
