Asus A8V Deluxe Vs. MSI Neo2 Platinum

[Ceberae]

The advantage of the Asus is that you can mount a Thermalright xp-120 heatsink on my athlon 64 3500+
The advantage of the MSI is that it's just an amazing board But the xp-120 won't fit on it

Should I get the Asus with the xp-120?
Or should I go with the MSI with a Cooler Master Hyper 6?

Thanks.

Asus for reliability. MSI for performance. I haven't had any problems with the Asus board, but I did read several people have had problems with the MSI board, but don't count on me just by that. I haven't had a single MSI board (I always avoided them).

I say Asus, but others may think otherwise.
