Intel has done a great job with the DP55KG Extreme motherboard. The board overclocks decently, but the real treat for this board is on the automatic overclocking that Turbo Boost provides. The board automatically changes the multiplier for the Core i7 or i5 CPU higher so it operates at 3.2GHz for the Core i5 750 CPU or 3.6GHz for the Core i7 870 CPU. These were completely stable in operation. Intel has done their homework with the overclocking and it shows. The board features a full suite of software from Intel including their new Desktop Control Center and a trial version of Norton’s Internet Security. It is for these reasons that I give this board an Editor’s Choice; it’s been a long time coming for an Intel retail board.
