Yeah, I was just asking because what you said made it seem like it's not really a board set up to go for big overclocks like the Rampage Extreme with those extra connectors.

I'm not going to be pushing it too much. I'll be aiming for a 4.5Ghz 24/7 OC with offset if I can set it up like my Z68 MB, but I'd also like to have a go at a 5Ghz OC for benching, it just doesn't seem like the board is catered to bigger overclocks like the Rampage Extreme. I've read it overclocks just as well, but I don't see how it can without the extra power connectors that the Rampage Extreme has. That's OK though because I didn't really buy the board for that. I bought it more for the 4 x PCIe x16 slots, in other words for gaming, and I'd say that is what this board is catered towards. Maybe I am wrong though and it can hold it's own Vs the Rampage Extreme.
