Asrock OCFM best option. Really killer efficiency and great with mem.

We have them in stock just not live on the site yet.

Helped by the fact that it just has two slots. One for the hardcore overclockers I guess.

"killer efficiency" he probably referred to a very special phenomenon when at the same Clock some boards produce very slightly higher benchmark scores, one may say it is just a statistical variation, but it is actually pretty consistent.
From my own experience, Asus motherboards (especially ROG series) are the best in this while MSI and Gigabyte are just very slightly behind.
