    Arrow Looking into a new MB and looking for some input please

    Hey guys i currently have an eVGA 3 Way SLI Classified MB socket 1366 and im looking for a new MB. I will be shoving an i7 950 that will be OCed under water, some mushkin memory, and 2 GTX460s under water that will be OCed as well. What board would you guys recommend? I would love to take advantage of the sata 6gb as i have a pair of crucial c300 SSDs in RAID0 with the ICH10R and wanna use the same controller . Need something that i can rely on for 24/7 stability , easy OCing, and stable BIOS updates once released. Something that uses great quality parts on the board and a good customer service base.

    If you are looking for a board that has good SATA 6Gbps RAID 0 performance you are going to have a tough time. You are pretty much stuck with SATA II or a SATA 6Gbps PCI-E card.

    The cheapest good performing raid 0 card from areca is 500+ usd but it is worth it. Those C300 really shine under the areca card.

    If you can buy the card, the mb search gets really easy. You can buy any inexpensive sli capable board or keep the classy.
