X99 board good for OC

[Blackwhite]

I am looking for a decent X99 board to OC my 5820K.
I don't want to push it extremely high, 4.5 Ghz is fine with me.
I am thinking about MSI X99S or MSI X99A either Asus X99A boards.
I don't want spend more than £200
Which will be better choice?
Thanks

£5 over budget, too much?

Looses 4 DIMM slots, but a cracking board in features + overclocking

Ive got a gigabyte x99 sli that overclocks mine to 4.5ghz easily

I use a gigabyte gaming 7 with a 5960x overclocked at 4.7ghz. All of them will overclock fine

I like Gigabyte SOC as it looks great but I don't like Gigabyte BIOS

I never liked the gigabyte bios either tbh, but once I got used to it, it's grew on me.

Asus X99-Pro owner here, picked it up for £150 from a certain warehouse on a website, has the Asus "OC Socket" which I have no idea whether it works or not, but I get 4.5GHz @ 1.21v.

SOC Champion is regarded as the best board for overclocking, but I wouldn't say 4.5GHz is out of reach for any board on the market.

I personally find Asus' BIOS to be okay, however I don't like how the fan curve can only have 3 points on it, but otherwise it's been good to me.
