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.

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! i have personally tested it with Vista, and it works better than with Windows XP-and it even sleeps properly! I would suggest going with this motherboard over many, esp considering its extreme overclocking...

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... easy install and good fan control and windows overclocking tool. Updating bios is a piece of cake through windows - scared me because it was too simple! This board is made to last and is good looking. I put in 4 250gb drives configured in RAID 10 and the performance is impressive but you end...

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...

A piece of junk

Strengths: 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. Upon completion of the machine I turned it on, the lights on the front of the case went on, the fans on the top of the CPU and on the back of the case went on, but nothing else happened. There were no beeps, there was no signal going to...

GA-965P-DQ6 Motherboard

Strengths: 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. The only negative is the cooling backplate if you want to install one of the more advanced air coolers. Supports 1333/1066/800/533 MHz FSB with new BIOS.

GigaByte GA-965P-DQ6

Strengths: 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! go get one for yourself!!
