Asus Motherboards?

[Der Meister]

Hi, which S1155 Asus motherboards compare to the MSI MS-H67MA with regards to overclocking the processor?
(The MSI Overclocks to over 4GHz (i7 k series) with OC genie and is priced at around R1700)

I'd get the Gigabyte Z68AP-DS3.

You not gonna find a decent Asus board for under R2k.

*actually, look at my sig and my CPU-Z validator*

The MHz of the processor on your rig is quite something, what do you use for cooling?

I was thinking the same thing.

Zalman CNPS10X eXtreme. Best air cooler I've ever used so far.. temps were peaking around 80C

This may be offtopic slightly, but let me chip in quick.

This cooler is awesome. I run my i5 2500k @ 4.5Ghz and temps never go above 65-70 degrees on a Prime95 stresstest.

HOWEVER, if you happen to own a Asus P8P67 EVO Motherboard like I do, the CNPS10X cooler blocks your FOURTH RAM slot. This may be the case on more than just my motherboard and I'd do research just in case.

(I had 2 sticks of 2GB Dominator RAM and had to replace them with 2 sticks of 4GB Vengeance RAM.. Not ideal but not end of the world either).
