thinking of the gene-z??? i don't want to pay out for the high end extreme this time as i don't need all the features
Help on this would be appreciated too as im also looking for a new MoBo around this price, with hopefully more than 6 sata ports witch are right angled on the side of the board along with the usb3 header angled for best cable management.

The UD5H is on offer and is a beast and far better than most ASUS junk.
Side by side of all three Gigabyte boards - http://uk.gigabyte.com/products/comparison/list.aspx?ck=2&pids=4153,4144,4139 - scroll down and see the number of USB ports on the rear of each.
ASUS junk hmmmmmm tell Andre Yang that the worlds number one overclocker by FAR!!!!
Hicookie is a great clocker I agree but not top. Not top ten infact.

I would have gone UD5H if I was getting a board purely for overclocking. Though I believe my new UP4 TH could get there without probs. Not so many USB ports though, I count 6 but also 2 thunderbolt. 
Get a UP7 it's coming out soon, amazing power phase configuration...32 power phase wtf? Probably £250 you could save up for a bit longer?
Otherwise, UD5H gets my vote.

Thought you were talking about overclocking (i.e maximum CPU frequency)
Hicookie 1st for a 3570K - http://hwbot.org/submission/2309871_hicookie_cpu_frequency_core_i5_3570k_6924.5_mhz
And dint he have the top spot for a 3770K on a UP7? only to be beaten by another UP7 - http://hwbot.org/submission/2308291_hkepc_cpu_frequency_core_i7_3770k_7090.95_mhz

Well you wanted ATX so that just leaves the UD5H.

hhmmmm. but i do like the asus bios
And how much of your day do you spend looking at the BIOS instead of actually using the PC?
Besides, Gigabyte have the 3D BIOS option if you want it to look flashy.
