I need a mobo that will do trifire. But I'm stuck between these two options.
Black Ops

ELA

They both have trifire compatibility. The ELA will run three cards at x8, while the black ops will run two at x16 and one at x8 (I think). My conflict arises at the price, considering that the Black Ops will cost me over a hundred dollars more than the ELA, because I need to buy new DDR3 ram for it. If I didn't hear rumors about the ELA being a poor overclocker I'd have bought it already. I'm worried that if I don't overclock there might be some extreme bottleneck from my e7400 with trifire 4850s. What should I do?
