best overclocking motherboard

[castrol]

Hi all i am thinking of buying the new MSI K8N Diamond plus motherboard, the problem i have is that i have been a fan of ASUS and have had there last 3 SLI motherboards of which i have not been happy with.

Well i am totaly into overclocking and have an Opteron 165, balistix ram, 600w Enermax PSU, 2x Gainward 6800gt's,

what i am looking for is a motherboard that does what i says it will do, yes the asus a8n32 was a great motherboard but has a limitation on the voltage if useing the new E4-E6 stepping cores of which would only give a max voltage of 1.58v of which the asus spec said 1.76v, it did get my opty 165 to 2.9GHz but i no it had more in it and that the asus was holding it back so What i am asking you chaps is the MSI K8n DIAMOND PLUS a great motherboard, can you play with all the coms settings without any limitation, or do you think that the DFI motherboard is better, If you think the DFI is better which one should i get to run sli and max overclock on the CPU.

any help on this would be great.

A single X1900X XT will outperform the 6800 SLI for gaming.

If you already have the A8N32-SLI, have you considered updating to the latest BIOS and seeing if that adds any more? Have you check the 12voltages with DMM at full load? Maybe your PSU is sagging volts. And if you got an Opteron 165 to 2.9GHz then you should be totally happy the way it is.

Hi the asus is a great mobo but as said the volts a limited to 1.58 on the new E4-E6 steping cores this is in line with amd spec, so what the motherboard should have overvolted by a max of 1.76 is not there due to a limit being put on this mobo, 2.9GHZ was great but i no the chip has got more, this is why i got rid of the motherboard and am looking at the new MSI or DFI, but cannot seam to find anything out about the new MSI.

any help would be great.
