The Asus A8N32 Sli Deluxe is a favorite. I luv mine. Has great ocing options, plenty of ram timmings, great vcore & vdimm voltages. Has heatpipe cooling for the fets and chipset. Onboard sound is really nice, onboard NIC works great. Not 1 single problem ever with mine 
Lots of members here will swear by the DFI, but i've had 2 different DFI boards ( Ultra-d & Expert) and they both were headaches. They're headaches to begin with setting up and fine tuning, but then the headaches continue evrytime you're trying to tweak it. I got fed-up with it and swapped over to the Asus. Don't get me wrong the DFI is a fine board, if you want to spend most of your time tweaking instead of actually enjoying it.
