Motherboard for E6850???

[mcrooster]

Hi Y'all,
I want to get a motherbaord to run an E6850 at 1333mhz, 3.6Ghz & have Sli support, from the bit of reading ive done it would seem most people choose intel chipsets for their overclocking but im not aware of any that have Sli support, that said ive also read that the Nvidia 680i northbridge gets very hot!, so its not the immediate choice either.
Whats a good board for my needs?
It will have to have Sli support, at least 6 SATA port, support 1333mhz and be a reasonable overclocker, (im after 3.6ghz, which from what ive read is realistic). Im new to overclocking, infact im new to intel, ive always had AMD gear but they dont have anything that would keep up with the E6850 currently, so now im coming over to the dark side.
Some board reccomendations would be appreciated, i perfer asus or abit, ive just always used them in the past.

Looks like the 680i is onlt your only option as far as I know. The newer p35 mobo's don't support SLI, but are very good overclockers. You should be asking this on the MOTHERBOARDS forum though. P5N-e SLI might be an option, but has only 2x pci-e 8x slots instead of 16. Compared to mobo's with full 16x pci-e slots performance didn't suffer though, with 8800's in them. Not sure if those were gtx's though, which I assume you will be buying, otherwise SLI is a waste. If you are thinking about SLI-ing 9800's in the future you might need this board: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16813131153

This http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16813131073 would be the most expensive solution. That's because the striker extreme is just a waste of money.
