I've had the AOpen i975Xa-YDG for awhile now. The board is pretty predictable, once you get used to its idiosyncrocies. For example, if you set Tras to 4 in the BIOS, it will read 8 in Windows. This can be fixed by using a program called MemSet which allows you to change timings. The BIOS is inaccessible with sub-zero cooling unless you have a Tcore mod done. Some say BIOS 1.03c fixes the problem. But I'm a little skeptical. The board has power-on and reset buttons like the DFI NF4 mobos. This is very convenient for me since I'm running the board without a case. Modding the board is a must for extreme overclocking because VCore maxes 1.5v and VDimm at 2.15v unmodded. There aren't many Yonah desktop boards. From what I've seen, the AOpen board is probably your best bet, though it is expensive.
