i am planning to buy a i7 920 pretty soon , and im planning to try to OC it to +-4ghz

i need suggestion for a good mobo ..

here is a few model i thinking of :

-EVGA 121-BL-E756-TR LGA 1366 Intel X58
-ASUS P6TD Deluxe LGA 1366 Intel X58
-ASUS P6T Deluxe V2
-MSI X58 Pro-E LGA 1366 Intel X58 -- this one is cheap and great for OC for what i did read .. can crossfire too but have IOH heat (70 under load ) , dunno if that is fixable ...

thx for answer :)
 
The heat hasn't been too much of an issue for my MSI Pro-E, but I've got it in an Antec 1200 with a CoolerMaster V8 on top. I'm not sure what you plan to do are far as GPUs, but plan on using all 3 PCIe slots I would pick the MSI as you can tell by looking at these pictures(click the links) the ASUS board doesn't leave room for a very thick card as 2 stacked directly on top of each other.

However, I believe the ASUS is true 3 by 16x and the MSI is 2 by 16x and a 4x
