asus a8n-sli vs dfi ultra-d

Dont want sli-just want an overclockable but QUIET mobo. The ASUS is reported to have problems with an fsb>245 but the dfi has that noisy chipset fan that sits right under the pci express video card (precluding replacement by the zalman passive heatsink) How hot does this ASUS get and how far has it been pushed (overclockability & stability)?

 
I have the A8N-SLI deluxe, and I can get 325mhz HTT very stable, the 245mhz problem is running ram 1:1 at a 1T command rate, you have to use 2T over 245mhz. The A8N-SLI premium has solved that problem and also has a passive heatpipe cooler on the chipset and is only $20 more than the deluxe.
