I'm RMA'ing my Asus M2N-E, :| and I need some recommendations for an AM2 board that is Stable and Has Solid, Proven Overclocking Features.

I don't exactly need SLi, but if that's what it takes to get a good board, that's what I'll buy. I will not buy another Asus product. :disgust:
I remember hearing good things about the Foxconn C51XEM2AA (I'll be dealing with ZZF, not newegg, though).

Any suggestions are welcome. For reference, the rig is in the sig.

I just finished building a system for a friend of mine using an MSI K9N Platinum 570 Ultra board (after also giving up on the craptastic M2N-E & returning it) and its a pretty good board, but not exactly top-notch in the overclocking department... at least it ran stable with Corsair XMS 6400 at 1.9v though!

I just finished building a test system using the uber-expensive Asus Crosshair 590 SLI & so far its rock solid... although its very expensive, it has all the features you could possibly want. I'm going to let it run Prime 95 overnight at default speeds then I'll see how far I can push my 4000+ & Mushkin Redline PC8000. :D

I'll report back tomorrow night with some early results!
