ASUS Commando P965

Zitat

In terms of overclocking capabilities, the Commando turned out to be good, but not as good as the marketing hype would have you believe. Though the maximum FSB turned out quite well compared to other P965 solutions, the Commando doesn't provide the sort of endless lists of overclocking tweaks that we would have hoped for, not to mention the recent nForce 680i & 650i chipsets which can match or even better the overclocking capabilities and performance of the P965.

The other extras that come with the board were also somewhat of a disappointment. While the onboard switches turned out to be convenient (especially the Clear CMOS) when overclocking, one can certainly live without those features. The overclocking capabilities thus turn out to be the only area of this board which justify such a hefty price tag.

In fact, the less hardcore overclocker can easily make do with cheaper motherboards. nForce 650i based motherboards such as the P5N-E SLi are in fact cheaper and no slouches in overclocking either, making them a value for money overclocking solution. The same cannot be said for the 680i however, with 680i motherboards retailing at prices even higher than the already exorbitant Commando.
