Yeah. Its nice having the option of sli in the future. My P8P67 died so I was forced to replace it.
 
Pretty nice board, arrived on Friday, built up no problems hit the OC button and hey presto instant 4.3 lazy overclocking, with the H50 cooling ontop i am pretty sure i could get 5ghz maybe, just need to read up a little.

What overclock can I expect with this mobo and 2500K on box cooler?

Will it handle at least 4.2ghz at decent temps?

From what I've seen it will handle whatever your chip is capable of. The temps depend on how good your chip is the overclock, case cooling, ambient temp and your cpu cooler but I've not heard of any problems in this respect.
 
Reason i didnt mention that one is i dont have a login for msi.

Im trying the official 1.9 BIOS at the minute, i still struggle to go above 4.5 while still maintaining acceptable voltages.
