I'm looking for a socket 1366 Motherboard for a i7-930 with 10 or more sata ports & true 16x/16x SLI. The 10 sata slots are the priority but if I can get a mobo that has x16 in both lanes also I'd be very interested :) .
I do a bit of overclocking but nothing major, ~3.8>4GHz will do & I don't plan on having any more than 2 GPU's in it at any time.
Thanks

Unfortunately, most 1366 socket MB are obsolete and no longer produced. So picking and choosing isn't going to be an easy task. Your best bet will be to hunt down a used or new board someplace like ebay: http://www.ebay.com/sch/Motherboards-/1244/i.html?_dcat...
There were still several new boards listed last I looked.

I will rephrase my question then. Were there any 1366 socket Motherboards produced that have 10 or more sata ports?

Oh. Well, in that case I'd just do a Google search for "LGA 1366, 10 sata". The max number of SATA ports the Intel chipsets ever contained was 6, if I remember correctly.
This one has the 6 Intel headers, plus a Marvel chip that adds 2, and a JMicron chip that adds a couple more via eSATA: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/SABERTOOTH_X58/#speci...
But of course it is no longer produced. So you are back to my original suggestion.
