I would go with the Gigabyte X38.. but the EVGA 680i isn't too far behind in terms of overclocking :)

gigabyte for sure

BUT

i read this review which basically states that x38 is a waste of money

Intel X38 vs. P35 Chipset...

you're better off with a p35 dq6 instead of x38 dq6, you aren't gonna be x-firing and i say its not worth the huge price permium for 1-2 extra 3dmark points.

but... GIGABYTE FTW

funny thing i was looking at that gigabyte mobo as my next, and right now i am running the evga 680i....if you are jut looking to get the best clocking mobo for quad cpu, i would not go with gigabyte x38...better off with dq6 gigabyte p35, or 680i
...some people are swearing by the dfi p35, as being the most solid overclocker, and stable of all the p35's out there.
