P5K, P5KE or DS3R?

[bigburpco]

Like the title suggests I'm looking at the following mid-range P35 boards - Asus P5K, Asus P5K-E-WiFi and Gigabyte P35-DS3R. I'm looking to overclock a Q6600 stably with a CM HyperTX2, so a P35 board is a must; stumped though on which of these boards to get.

From what others have said the DS3R is the most value for money, but the P5K OCs further. As for the P5K-E, I'm still not sure of the performance improvements from the vanilla P5K. Anyone clear about this? I've heard about anti-vdroop but dunno whether the P5K has it in the bios options.

Suggestions anyone?

The p5k does have an option to decrease the vdroop, but it doesn't work and the vdroop on the p5k is TERRIBLE. There is a pencil mod for it though, which works pretty well apparently. Personally I'd look at the p5k deluxe, p5e or the asus maximus boards for serious overclocking.

Anyway, these are not the boards to ask these questions, browse the xtremesystems.org forums for some good info and experiences.
