Which SLI motherboard to get

ASUS Rampage II GENE

ASUS P6T: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131359

I will be using it with a i7, 6GB DDR3 1333 PC3-10666 Triple Channel and 2 xfx 260 Black edition in sli. also which one would have better cooling.

Any particular reason you need Micro-ATX? If not, get the P6T. The P6T Deluxe that is.

Correction, get the P6T Deluxe V2. Both boards only support dual SLI graphics even though the P6T has more PCI-Express slots and just more room in general.

I think the Rampage ][ Gene is targeted towards the HTPC / LAN Game market since it is uATX.

The Deluxe v2 lacks an SAS controller though.

Huh?

Did they remove that for the V2 version? Mine still has one.

Yes, they did. The SAS controller was removed from the v2 revision, and this is according to ASUS the only change on the board. I'm assuming it was done to minimize cost, as most desktop users won't be using it anyway. Of course, many people think there was more amended than just the removal of a feature. Who knows.
