Hello,
as I was choosing a motherboard for my GTX660 SLI setup I stumbled upon a dilemma. I am choosing between Extreme4 and Fatal1ty Professional-M. These are the only motherboards my budget allows for and they are both almost the same price (although Fatality is about 5$ cheaper atm.), they both have up to 32GB RAM support and both run SLI at 8x/8x speed. Now, the Fatality has one more PCI-E 2.0 16x slot but then again it is micro-ATX version while the Extreme4 is normal sized motherboard. My case can fit both versions so that wouldn't be an issue either.
What do you guys think, which one would you recommend?

//EDIT: Just thought it would be good to mention that I currently have a Sandy Bridge i5 2500k.

No...


No Brainer. Go for the Extreme4 as it is a full ATX board and easier to work with. I would never consider an mATX if I was planning on sli / crossfire.
