Are there motherboards for the i7 marketed for overclocking without 100 GPU slots ? I only run single cards ever so I have no need for extra GPU space. I have always had good luck with GB motherboards, hoping someone can point in right direction for a solid OCing MB.

Don't know how extreme of an overclock you're after but I find that this board is a great bargain that includes SATA 6gb/s and USB 3.0 and since you say you've never had problems with Gigabyte.

Elite OCing belongs to asus rampage 3. Asus premium are pretty damn good to and OC well too. I'd only choose between these two if I was OCing.
