I'm looking to get a solid board that I would be able to crossfire on and I've come to these two boards. My main concern is how well each will overclock and how good and easy their respective BIOS's are. I've had nothing but good experiences with Gigabyte BIOS's, but ASUS is a different story.

They both seem to have similar layouts, so that isn't much of a concern. I do like the ASUS' layout slightly more, but the BIOS/overclocking concern is a much larger priority.

So, does anyone here have any experience with either of these boards?

I'd only buy ASUS Rampage or P5E X38 or that Gigabyte board, based on what I've heard about the boards.

i agree with the rampage formula it is a good board and overclocks easy. i have this board and just helped my brother build a PC using this board so i really like it.

The Gigabyte model perform and oc the same as the Asus board, but cost less and is more reliable. DS4 bios contain everything you need for oc, including loadline calibration. Asus bios has more extensive auto-oc option, but you should not use auto-oc to get a proper oc anyway.

For reference, current oc king is a p45 board by BioStar (yeah, you heard right).
