So im going i7 in about a month or so and i need to know which motherboard out of these 2 i can get that will run at 4.0GHZ or higher with a 920 D0

I read the Evga 3x sli X58 is good same iwth hte classified.

The classified would break the wallet and the Evga 3x sli is perfect. Which is a more stable and better overclocker

The Classified is a very good overclocker but if you just want to run your i7 at 4.0 you can save some money and get the EVGA 3X SLi.

You can get it to atleast 200bclk (200*20)=4ghz or with Turbo on you can get (200*21)=4.2ghz. Chances are you will be limited by the heat before the motherboard.
At the review here they got the board to a max BCLK of 205.

There's a guid here for how to get to 200BCLK on that board.

The 3-way SLi is an awesome board. Very solid.

I'm at 4.2 with everything on and 12gb of ram. For some reason I can get past 200 blck
