After seeing the 2500K overclocks I'm really tempted to make the switch. Does it really seem worth it though for gaming?

If so, which of these lower end mobos do you think would be best? I'm not too concerned about features or extras, just the best overclocker. Will be using my Silver Arrow for cooling so I'm a little concerned about clearance too.

GIGABYTE GA-H67A-UD3H
MSI P67A-GD53
ASRock P67 Extreme4
BIOSTAR TP67XE
GIGABYTE GA-P67A-UD3P
MSI P67A-GD55
ASUS P8P67

Initial impression is the MSI P67A-GD55 looks to have the best clearance around the socket.
 
Overclocking results are limited. SB just got released about 10 hours ago. If you are seriously about wanting the best clocking board, Id wait for results.

The Asus, MSI GD55, Giga would all be my top choices though. I wouldnt suggest ASRock at all, and Biostar seems to be hit and miss w/ each generation.
