SLI/Crossfire (2 cards ) + Good for OC mother board

[Kezotar]

Hey

Was looking for some good mother board fitting the i5 2500k sandy bridge and also has to support SLI/Crossfire, that also is capable of easy OC without too many limitations.

Thanks!

Just about any P67 motherboard will do this.

You will have to go through the features list on your own and decide what you want in a motherboard. Both of those are good quality, and have all of the basic features you need. In my opinion though, Sabertooth looks so sweet!

any z68 mobo as well....

Z68 is not necessary because he won't be using onboard graphics...

Really, the only thing Z68 does that P67 does not, from what I have researched anyway, is the SRT for SSDs. He didn't specifically ask about SSDs, nor smart response technology, so I recommended P67. The other difference is that Z68 has onboard graphics, where P67 boards do not. If you are using a graphics card, why on earth would you want to have onboard graphics?

Yeah, because that is a regular occurrence that should influence your choice of motherboards, amirite?

It doesn't hurt to have the z68 features, in any event. I'd go with ASRock Extreme3, it's widely used for good reason, plus it's cheap. You can pay more for the Asus board if you want, maybe you need the extra ports or the legacy PCI slots. I wouldn't go with the Sabertooth though, that cladding is just gonna give you grief later.
