ASRock X79 Extreme4 will let u OC to 4.8 ghz.

Higher end models have more features, ports, better power design and better components.

Is it worth the 100$ increase though?

 

[ronakk]

Because the only noticeable thing i see is more Ram slots

 

[nikorr]

PCI Express 3.0 x16

3 (x16, x16, x8)

5 (x8/x8/x8/x8/x8 or x16/0/x16/0/x8)

4 (x8, x8, x8, x8 or x16, 0, x16, 0)
1 (x8)

So they are worth it if I plain to go higher then SLI and would want more then 32 gb ram max?

More of the Power Phase Design, better it OC and stable it is.

Digi Power Design, Advanced 6 + 2 Power Phase Design

Digi Power Design, Advanced 12 + 2 Power Phase Design

Digi Power Design, Advanced 16 + 2 Power Phase Design

U can get higher overclock and still stable, so it does not crashes, when past the higher speeds 5+GHz.
