gentlemen, you need to remember those cold clocking represent 0.0000001% of the market if that, MSI have done well here to build a board that caters to the air and water crowd which is where all the market is. Intel and AMD have gone a little benchmark drunk for me at this time, they need to not lose sight of where the main customers will be. Its ok to make boards that work well cold but they are usually crap warm...and for me not worth the effort.DFI owned with the Ultra'd's etc as they were just so tweakable air cooled, people like to experiment and see the last 1% come to them, but monday morning they hit that default profile in bios and go right back to doing homework etc...

I would agree with Gary for 1st MSI but then i would go Asus and last GBT, I want to see the new DFI shine and will beg for a board soon although i begged them to drop SB750 in the M2R for the ddr2 boys as that board is just awesome with the 955.
