What's a decent overclocking non-SLI board with high RAM voltages so I can pump some energy through these sticks?
The MSI I have only goes up to 2.85v, and the OCZ Booster also won't work with it, which means basically I'm stuffed if I want some speedy RAM.
Apparently others have got these up to 250MHz @ 2-2-2-7 with 3.5v, I'm struggling for 220MHz @ 2.5-4-3-10.

Also want some more juice for the CPU, since this board tops out at 1.55v (I know that's a fair amount, but I'm willing to go to 1.6v, and I can't :().

Obviously the DFI is nice, but it's also quite pricy, so are there any better (ie: cheaper) options?
Don't need SLI, do need >3v VDimm and >1.6v VCore.

(May also upgrade to an X2 or similar within the next few months)

The DFI nf4-d or DFI ultra-D both fit what you need.

These boards go between $115 to $125.

Heck, I even had one for sale for $100 yesterday! :)
