Apart form the chipset heatsinks, Is there anything different about these boards.

I'm talking about the DS4 DS5 and DQ6

My eVGA 680i started getting flakey on me a few nights ago and corrupted my windows installation so I wasn't going to bother with it again.

So the next day I went out and bought a DS5, It's a pretty good board once you learn all it's niggles, one being that the GIGABYTE SATA chip/ports don't really like having DVD drives attached to them, it will work but causes I/O lag.

If anyone else has this board could you give me some tips for overclocking please. I've managed to get my E8600 up to 4.5Ghz stable (4.3Ghz with the 680i) using 1.4v
