I'm a bit late to this party.  I've been enjoying the birth of my first 
grandchild so I've been offline for a few days.

I like the Gigagbyte boards, but I have to say I"ve picked up a couple 
of incredible ASRock boards. (I'm not sure if those are ASUS boards or 
not.  But I have a A770DE+ with a Phenom II x6, 8GB RAM and it runs as 
cool as I've ever seen.  The heat sink isn't any bigger than most and I 
have that one sitting underneath a desk that doesn't get a lot of air 
flow.
