I need a quick decision on which motherboard to choose for e7200

[jpbg]

K so i got the E7200 and the XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 + retention bracket + Tuniq TX-2 paste.
I returned my gigabyte EP35-DSRL because i realized it was crappy for many reason besides the fact that it doesn't overclock well or work out of the box with the 45nm. So i RMA'd but i need to choose a replacement board i've narrowed it down between 3 and i do plan on overclocking. Please help me decided because my E7200 and 4850 are sitting their boxes waiting to be used.

DFI LANPARTY DK P35-T2RS http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813136043

GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813128059

(ehh) ASUS P5K PRO LGA http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 1681313127

Thanks in advance.

Oh and I posted this under motherboards but i wasn't sure if that was wrong so sorry for the double post

In P35 boards i recommend u getting GIGABYTE P35 DS3L/DS3R
ASUS P5K-E WIFI(I have it and love it ) ABIT IP35 PRO

I'm not saying that other P35 boards are bad,but many users have these 4 boards in this forum and they are good boards (good OC'ng capability too)

The Landparty DK is a good board as well but usually you got to love tweaking your rig because, in general, DFI implements a huge amount of options in their BIOS. They aren't geared toward newbies so to speak.

well im leaning most heavily towards the dfi (highest rated doesn't hurt either) because i want to be able to overclock to at least 3.6 but im kind of a n00b when it come sot bios tweak considering i have an ancient board, so i might go for the gigabyte

OC'ng is easy if u read some good guides:

OC'ng guide:

Temperature guide:
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/221745-11-core-quad-temperature-guide

Also your reason isn't really good for choosing GIGABYTE over ASUS, u mean because u are NEW to using the BIOS u want to go with the GIGABYTE one and OC with a software like Ntune?
Read thos guides and u will find OC'ng easy and fun

ok ive added this board in the mix, its in my price range due to free shipping

ASUS P5Q Pro
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131299

no i use ati tool for graphics so i can squeeze out my max overclock. and i really don't like gigabyte (the reason i need a board is because i RMAd one of their boards for being junk)

and thanks for the guide

 

[jpbg]

sorry just make certain if i ignore the complex settings i should be able to easily increase the fsb and tweak my ram latency (on DFI)

GA-P35-DS3L gets my vote.
I have one and it's a nice board. I got for $89.99 though. The prices now have inflated.

Yeah GIGABYTE P35 DS3L is a rock solid board too and one of the recommended boards here (as u see i always recommend those 4 P35 boards because there many positive feedbacks on them)
