I just tested the Gigabyte Z77X-UP7 and it overclocked like a monster. I got 5.1Ghz(semi-stable) on a core i7 3770 and ran benchies but temps were to warm to run 24/7(custom water). I broke 6GHz on dry ice. The review publishes tommorrow and I will get the link for ya. Another goodie was the ASRock Z77 OC too but it needed a lot more voltage to overclock than the UP7.
