Overclocking: DFI Lan Party Sli-DR vs Asus A8N-SLI Premium

Ok, I was in awe when I saw Dynamix3D's P180 with a scythe ninja here. Also, I noticed the ASUS board uses a fanless design. (See Picture) It all kind of ties together in to the P180 theme, cool and quiet. Now to cut to the questions,

Given that fact that I will be doing some moderate/heavy overclocking do you think I'd be better off with a DFI Lanparty board? I'd give up on the perfectly placed CPU position for the P180 case, but I've read some great things about the board.
 
DFI Hands down. if you want to overclock that is......

I can't hear my DFI chipset fan although it spins hella fast/loud. I got a even louder chipset fan (Iceberq4 Pro) but I can't hear it over my VF700 and Panaflo and Yate Loon fan...
 
My old board was an ASUS a8n-sli Premium. No matter what you do, it will NEVER give you enough voltage to overclock with. The ASUS was a very nice board, but not for overclocking.

Once I got the DFI, it was off to the races.. this thing is awesome. The DFI is just higher quality all-around.
 
Some reason why DFI would be better than Asus for ANY overclocking...

1) Quality Capacitors
2) Heatsinked power mosfets
3) Higher Vcore/Vdimm options

Agree with everyone else: For overclocking, go DFI all the way.

As far as the revision 2 boards, I *think* this is a misconception. There are so called "expert" versions coming out I believe, but no rev 2 as such.
