I'm looking for some first hand input in regards to my next motherboard.
From what I've read in reviews both boards are rather solid have unique feature sets. What I would like is a board that is reliable above all else, pretty much get a nice stable OC, set it and forget it.

Im leaning more towards the Extreme 6, but seeing as how the biostar is now 50$ cheaper, I'm wondering if the price difference is justifiable.
It will see a 3570K and some 30nm Samsung ram, primary use will be gaming and some occasional OC'ing.

The way I see it.

Extreme 6
Pros: Xfast ram and Xfast USB would be benificial
Overclocks rather well
UEFI Bios

BioStar
Pros: Simple and straight to the point
Overclocks better than Extreme 6
I like the color scheme.
Price

All constructive comment are welcome.
