As Gigabyte's top of the line Intel P965 based motherboard, the GA-965P-DQ6 does not disappoint. Gigabyte has been making great pains to push the envelope for enthusiasts and hobbyists and the DQ6 shows the fruits of their labour. From sporting heatpipes (which most manufacturers are doing now, except DFI), to superb connectivity, and huge overclocking stability, the GA-965P-DQ6 appears to be a nearly ideal board for enthusiasts and for overclocking Conroe's. I suspect there is still room for improvement in its BIOS, particularly where it comes to memory write performance, and with further tweaks I'd like to see memory performance reach at least 75% theoretical bus throughput for at least reads... but only the future will tell how much memory performance can be increased on 965 based boards.
