You'll be hard pressed to find a board around 100-120$ that has a NB sensor. A couple might, but I don't think many budget boards would throw in a NB sensor since it's more of a luxury than a necessity.

P35 DK would probably be your best bet. Hopefully someone else can show you a board that fits your needs.

Well if you ask me I tink northbridges are unnecessary and you should rip yours off your mobo (tats what I did, works Great). No but serusly you don't really need water cooler, just jimmy rig it with at 80mm fan electric taped over teh heatsink if yous going two be overclocking.

..........wow, nice...you need the ban hammer. but to the OP, get the dfi, set it up, overclock it, if it doesnt fail within a week or so then you have a solid board and you wont need the warranty anyways.
