POLL: Which of these two motherboards overclock better?

[Cheex]

If these two boards will overclock the same then I think I might as well buy the S3 and save myself some money towards something else.

Let me know what you think.

wow, so there's actually a difference between the DS3 and S3 in overclocking? I guess that makes it worth the extra 20 bucks...

 

[Cheex]

Is it really only a matter of capacitors?

Just get the ds3.

If you RMA the S3 because it does not perform how you want you will be out more than $20.

And then there is the 'what if' factor..
Get the best components you can if you are going to overclock.. And then you do not have to buy slightly better things tomorrow just to make up for your tight waddedness today.

Added a new option in the poll.

I'm leaning towards the DS3 anyway but I'm kinda tight on the ca$h so...

 

[Cheex]

Should I really stretch my resources to get the DS3 at this point?

if $20 bucks is stretching things, maybe you should save a little longer and buy better parts for a better system a few weeks or so from now.
