I just got a new Opty 144 which is doing great. I've had it as high as 2.5 GHz (at stock voltage), but my Neo2 Platinum is giving me all kinds of fits. It won't go any higher than 260 HTT on the 9x mult, which doesn't even get me 2.4 GHz. I was able to get it stable at 315x8, for a more respectable 2.5 GHz, but now I can't seem to repeat that very well. Bottom line, I need a new mobo to make this Opty scream.
I need something that I can count on to do 300+ HTT so I can get the most out of my new CPU. I won't be doing SLI or Crossfire, but I'm open to buying an SLI board if necessary for the feature set and performance. Passive cooling would be very nice, but I can always do that myself so it's not make-or-break. I'd like to avoid upgrading my old PSU if possible, so something that will be happy with 20-pin power would be nice.
I'd appreciate some recommendations. Personal experiences would be great, especially from fellow Opty 144 and 146 owners.

I reached 2.7GHz on my Neo4 Plat, but that's with a Venice 3000+... IMHO, the Opty should be doing just as fine...
