any gaming difference between 2 asus boards

[vrgadin]

ASUS P8Z77-V LX, Onboard Video, DVI & HDMI, X-Fire, SATA3, USB3.0, GB LAN


ASUS P8Z77-M, Onboard Video DVI & HDMI, X-fire, SATA3, USB3.0, GB LAN


the second is a micro atx im aware of that. so i want to oc a 3570k to at least 4.2 with an evo 212. my question is if there is any difference besides size between the two. is one more durable? does one stand up better to an oc? is ones data rate faster through the board? and finally, if it were you using a mid tower which would you choose?

The M is a Micro ATX MoBo designed for very small computer cases

the M is 9.6" x 9.6" while the LX is 12" x 8.6"

Other small differences ... LAN chipset etc

Of the two, Id use the LX .... and it what I was using in budget builds before Haswell dropped.
