Overclocking at all?

Asus P8Z77I-Deluxe is the top-end board if you want to clock the **** off it. Asrock's Z77 is awesome too.

The Gigabyte Z77 is solid too, but apparently is voltage locked so overclocking is limited.

And if you dont want to overclock, the Asus H77 board is great, although H77 limits RAM speed to 1333MHz

Gav: I see from your sig you got the Asrock. How much of an issue did you have with components interfering with the Noctua's backplate?

h77 runs RAM fine at 1600mhz. At least on my Gigabyte H77N-WIFI.

My bad, Ivy Bridge RAM speeds got bumped up to 1600MHz - it's Sandy that's limited to 1333MHz
