Hello,
I can't decide which motherboard, from models mentioned in title (Asus M5A99FX PRO vs. ASRock 990FX KILLER vs. Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5), should I pick.

ASRock suffers northbridge overheating problems and it doesn't have PCI slot, but it looks nice and its well equipped.
Asus is the cheapest one, however it has less PCI-E x16 slots to use for SLI then Gigabyte, and power phase is 6+2 instead of 8+2.
Personally I prefer Asus brand and I am looking for OC stable and reliable mobo.

I would be very grateful if anyone could share any advices with me :)
Best Regards

My CPU is FX-8320 + Thermalright HR-02 - Macho cooler, and now I'm running on single GPU - Geforce GTX760, but its likely possible that ill get second one to run in SLI in the future.
As i mentioned before, I am looking for stable motherboard with good OC capabilities for gaming as well as other use (multi-thread software, code compilation etc.)
