Phenom II 940 BE MB choice

What's the best chipset for getting a good solid overclock out of a Phenom II 940? I have no plans to ever SLI etc, so just looking for good overclocking ability.

If you want to overclock any of the new AMD processors, make sure you get a board with the SB750 south bridge. This allows you to unlock the multiplier so you can increase the clock speed without messing with any of the hyper transport speeds.
