that or the epox 8rda, think it's around 110 or something

EpoX has been known for their great OCs. Asus and MSI are right behind, but I concur with the above poster.

You could unlock your cpo yourself, and avoid the premium.

It's become a trend nowadays for motherboards to unlock the processor by default, even though it's quite easy to do manually but whatever floats your boat. Asus has been known for it's great overclocking ability, and Abit/Epox are quite good also. If you're know what you're doing, then you'll want to get a motherboard that allows for FSB changes, voltage changes, and multiplier changes. Any motherboard with those three features will be best for overclocking.
