Hey guys, right now I'm running my FX-8350 at 4.5ghz on a 970A-D3 board with Extreme LLC. Having extreme llc turned on has resulted in my mobo spiking vcore when the power is needed to achieve a small 4.5ghz overclock. Many people have mentioned the power phasing on my board being a problem. I have finally decided that I want to upgrade my mobo so that I can achieve hopefully at least 4.8ghz. Something with 2pciex16 slots preferrably as well. I may run 7950 xfire in the future not sure. Any suggestions for brands and models? Thanks!

The asus Sabertooth is a great board and the uefi Bios is meant for overclocking although newegg doesnt have them in stock.

ASrock 990fx Extreme 3 also with uefi bios
Just my suggestions-

A few noob questions, mind me. First off, the Extreme 9 looks amazing for the price.Does it have dual bios (im sure it does just couldnt find it), also do you think it will fit in an Antec 300 case? Thanks for the suggestions and help!
