Great, quiet board.Strengths: No fans on this one, raid 10 works well, lots of features. nice layout. Weakness: No SLI, but I don't want SLI so no big deal for me. A little pricey. Documentation could be better. This board has a ton of features - 4 e-sata ports, 6 internal sata's. 10 usb 2.0 ports, and on and on... 100% of readers found this review helpful.

Best overclocker out there!Strengths: Quiet, solid state design, for the best longevity when it comes to motherboards. clean design, everything was easy to get to, and the support has been awesome! Weakness: none that I can tell, other than being a bit pricey! I think that this is the best motherboard I have ever bought, and just last week, it was the first, and only motherboard certified for use with the upcoming Microsoft Operating System, Vista! 100% of readers found this review helpful.

Incredible!Strengths: Incredible stability, connectivity, user-friendly, heatpipes galore! Weakness: Lacks dual video card support. Pricey. IDE connectivity is limited. I received this motherboard as a gift and it's absolutely blown my mind away. This motherboard is an absolute dream to work with and in my mind is one of the best boards for a Conroe out there. It's got heatpipes all over the board to help keep things cool silently, including a copper "crazy cool" plate on the back which further helps to silently dissipate heat. It's got twelve phase power delivery, all the SATA connectors you could ever need, and it's stable to top it all off. It's basically ready for anything now and anything that you'll throw at it for years to come. The included software package doesn't slouch, either; you get the full version of Norton Internet Security AND Kaspersky AV, among other things. Why you get both of them is a mystery to me, but it's always handy to have good options I guess. To sum it all up, if you've got the cash to purchase this board then I suggest you go for it. It's got plenty of room for future improvements, tons of power for the present, and a great software package to boot. Good job, Gigabyte! 78% of readers found this review helpful.

A piece of junkStrengths: None Weakness: Does not work and Gigabyte Technologies does not provide customers support. I assembled a computer using this motherboard and an Intel Core2 Duo_E6600 processor, which according to their specifications, is compatible with the motherboard. 25% of readers found this review helpful.

GA-965P-DQ6 MotherboardStrengths: overclocking, heatpipes, solid state capacitors, sata2 connectors Weakness: metal cpu backplate prevents use of advanced coolers High FSB over 400MHz is attainable with this board. It supports quad core and matrix raid. It has four esata2 ports for total of 8 sata connectors. This board is packed full of features and is one of the top p965 boards.

GigaByte GA-965P-DQ6Strengths: unbelievably fast, super overclockable, really quiet, and for under $200 compared to even low end boards this thing is a bargain! Weakness: Only one PCI-E-16 slot, and then another that is PCI-E-4x....other than that I have absolutely no complaints! If I had to build another system, I would use this motherboard for sure, esp considering it can take up to 8gb of ram....I have loaded it with 4gb, and vista ultimate loves this system!

Awesome Motherboard!
Strengths: Quiet, Great Overclockability, lots of features
Weakness: No SLI support, Expensive, some very minor problems with layout
The Gigabyte GA-965-DQ6 is a great board for the enthusiasts. It has lots of features and great overclockability. The passive heatsinks keeps the the board cool with out noisy fans. The only problem I have is the memory slots are a little close to my PCI Express video card which makes removing or installing ram difficult.
