Which Motherboard for my Intel Core 2 Duo E8400?

I love my P5Q Pro. I bought the Gigabyte EP45-DS3R initially, had a lot of problem overclocking my E8400 above 3.5GHz. I returned the board and bought a Asus P5Q Pro and it's so much easier to OC. I'm at 4.0GHz with 1.34vcore now. ran orthos for 9.5 hours, solid stable.
