Gigabyte GA-EP43-UD3L or ASUS P5QL PRO? I have an E4300 c2d cpu and some g.skill DDR2-800, both of which I want to overclock. I was leaning towards the Gigabyte because of the 1200 memory FSB, which could be nice if I ever upgrade memory. I'm looking at these two boards because they are some top sellers on Newegg, and I've got a pretty strict budget of ~$90. So any suggestions?

UD3L hands down. The Asus mobo has the 24Pin connector in the middle of the motherboard, one of the worst places IMO as it does impede airflow and cable management.
 
Im using a Gigabyte P43, pretty soild. Got my Q6600 to 3.0Ghz and my G.Skill to 499.5

My idle temp is 40C.
 
Flip a coin. It really doesn't make a damn bit of difference. I agree with Danny about the layout though.
