I like the ASUS M4A79T Deluxe but the MSI seems to have a lot more options. The Crosshair III costs too much, will be a great pick once the price goes down.

The way I look at it is, the best motherboard isn't going to be the one that brings the highest DICE OC's, but the highest average OC for most people out there. I like my GD-70, but it honestly has too many options, I can toss in my LanPArty DK 790FX toss some voltage at it and break 4ghz on my AII 240 and I can hit 3.9 on my PII 720. But with the GD-70, theres too many adjustments that honestly describe the exact samething, I was able to hit 4.2ghz on the AII, but it wasn't stable, and I can't seem to make either proc stable over 3.5ghz, pretty frustrating when the DK made it so simple.

i have hit 4.3-4.4ghz on air using a Athlon II X2 250 and phenom II X2 550 on the CH3 they are both stable at over 3.8ghz mind you still on air here and i pushed a phenom 910 (2.6ghz stock) to 4ghz on air with it.

I like the ASUS M4A79T Deluxe but the MSI seems to have a lot more options. The Crosshair III costs too much, will be a great pick once the price goes down.

unluckily it wont go down its always going to be an expensive mobo the CH2 is still expensive
