I haven't kept up with mother board that much and been doing some research but I can't find a decent SLI motherboard, with good over clocking options. I currently have a Biostar TF520-A2 and first all I can't get it to over clock my 5000+ BE with Corsair XMS2 Ram(2x2gb). I have try just raising the mutiplier like everyone says and nothing. Also other reason why i want to upgrade is that my friend will be buying a gxt 260 and he is giving me his old 8600gt just like mine so i was thinking about going SLI and i cant with my current Motherboard.
Basically i need good suggestion on a decent and ok price motherboard.
Thanks to whom ever help

Not really answering your motherboard question but just wondering if you upped the voltages and loosened the timing on your RAM a little while you overclocked.
 
fromeo85, thanks for the links, i was looking at the asus one before but it is out of my range right now. Zoogle, I try loosing the timing, changing voltage and everything i found online that people have try to see if it worked with y setup and nothing.
 
Did you try lowering the HT multiplier and raising the HT to overclock the old fashioned way? That's how I did mine.
 
Yes, basically i can only go like a multiplier up or it is very unstable, ram i can only take it like 20 over or it gets very unstable
