I look everywhere... I mean everywhere. I need a micro-atx board (MUST BE BLACK PCB FOR AESTHETICS!!!) The problem is.. I want to sli my 660 ti in the future, but the motherboard as to be am3+ and the I can find no sli boards. Only 1 pcie and 2 pci slots. I don't even know if they exist with amd's chipsets..

There aren't any motherboards that fit your specifications.

Why do you need a micro-atx board?

350D

That's why I'm asking you :P

Well there aren't. If you want to sli, you'll have to go atx for am3+. If you want matx, you won't be able to sli unless you don't go am3+.

am3+ and am3 are backwards compatible... correct me If I am wrong though, haven't really looked at amd solutions in a while. So I guess an am3 board would be fine.. I already looked for am3 boards, didn't look thorough enough though. Let me know if you find anything.

There is no Micro ATX AM3+, AMD keep AM3+ as performance platform, plus cheap Micro ATX won't be able to handle FX high TDp
