motherboards Which Mb between: 9700k overclock please

[newtoofps]

Hello I posted incorrect link yesterday. Will not attempt to 'link', will just post plain text of the motherboard i have to choose from.

My main concern is having clearance for either a Cryorig r1 ultimate, or a noctura d15 140mm fan. Also while being able to have plenty of vram/bandwitdth etc to fully overclock a 9700k(i pretending its a 'gold lottery ticket' instead of a 'trash lottery' that i keep hearing about with silicon.

Gigabyte Z390 AORUS PRO WIFI LGA 1151, which is currently 189 plus shipping i belive.

MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Edge AC LGA1151, which is currently 170$ atm with free shipping i belive.

Gigabyte Z390 AORUS Elite (Intel LGA1151, which is 170$ as well with free shipping.

Please say if there are better choices for overclocking a 9700k to 4.9-5.1ghz. This is my first 9k cpu setup. had a 4790 before. I would like to stay hopefully below 200$ oin the motherboard, but if there are safer options with better stability for 250+ fps gaming, I would consider spending more. thank you

Way above your price range, OC board good for sub zero overclocking by design, Maximus XI Hero.

Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Pro is in 1st, followed by the Aorus Elite in 2nd, and MSi Gaming Edge 3rd.

VRM cooling and quality wise.

I'd go for either of the Gigabyte boards, but... why Z390? 

Z490's been out for a while now and you'd be getting a lot more out of it than you would out of Z390 today.
