Asus P5W is probably the best overclocker for the E6600, everyone seems to get the DS3/DS4 boards with the lower chips E6300/6400, i just got the DS4 as for mine as aint clocking, stock does me.

The Asus P5W64 WS is usually the best and most stable overclocker for the E6600. Most top out around 450MHz. The Asus P5W DH is a nice board, especially now the cold boot issue has been fixed by bios. Mine topped out at around 425MHz. Other than that, the Badaxe 2 might be worth a look. It is super stable, but not user friendly for an overclocker. I had to mod my Badaxe 1 just to get the overclocking options to appear.

you lose a lot of performance with 965 boards once you clock past 400fsb also.

higher fsb doesn't always mean better performance.

there's also a new beta BIOS out for the abit AW9D which seems to be an improvement.
I've waited this long though that I'm probably going to wait a few more weeks & see how the IN9 32X-MAX turns out.

680i for 4mb cores - 965 for 2mb ones.

Or wait for the nVidia 650i SLI or Ultra chipsets - should clock like the 680i but cost less (less features).
