I need to order a mobo in the morning.Would prefer x38 over p35,unless there is a p35 that is miles better than any x38.I intend to run 45nm quads on it with extreme cooling so require a decent amount of vcore.Vmods are not a problem if needed.I have shortlisted

Maximus extreme
Maximus extreme ROG
P5e3 deluxe
Gigabyte GA-X38T DQ6

Opinions needed please and does anyone know the difference between the first 2 ?

Personally, I would go for the Maximus...

The republic of Gamers version has the water cooling pipe setup with the in/out ontop of the NB, then it cools the SB & Mossfets via the heatpipes... ;)

You can tell from the pics, the ROG version has the big blue SB
