i'm not sure what the difference is...between the top3 boards at the moment. but based on observation and some key notes.
so.. if you're pushing 1.8v-2v....even if your vregs are rated 600w(ie classified series x58 & p55)
thats pushing 300A @ 2V max....
lets say 2v with 12 threads...wprime @ 7ghz... vregs are ok...but what about the quality of the voltage supply?
the quality of the (vreg)power is very significant especially at very high frequencies...
when Francois( intel ) mentioned some notes bout coldbugs....."hi -k" ......
current and cold are the major differentiators in clocking....and intel's cpu quality.

r3e is using the best capacitors i've seen on any x58 mobo.....
so its really worth considering...
