Looking for the most efficient & cool motherboard with at least 2 pcie x16 2.0
Originally considered the foxconn bloodrage, but its power drain is huge! I want an efficient mobo that runs cool with at least 2 pcie x16 slots (3 would be better). I liked the MSI X58 Platinum SLI but its overclocking is hampered and I hear it runs hot, maybe the eclipse but I think heat will still be alot as the MSI X58 Platinum SLI is just a trimmed down eclipse. I plan on overclocking with a noctua or TRUE ultra. Help? Is there anything better? The less voltage/better cooling means less heat and less fans spinning. A onboard fan controller would be a nice feature. EDIT CASE IS SILVERSTONE TJ09.
