My budget is 150$ (possibly will go up to 170, depends how much i will benefit.)

Current system:

CPU: AMD FX-8320 Vishera

Currently have this OCed to 4.1 ghz but that's the max i can do. (will describe later)

MOBO: ASRock 990FX Extreme3 AM3+

GPU: ASUS GTX770

PSU: CORSAIR TX Series 650watt bronze

RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB

COOLER: CORSAIR Hydro Series H60

My OC is stable and ran for 24hrs straight on prime. The only issue is that on HWmonitor it says my CPUTIN is at 56 degrees Celsius then it throttles. My cpu temp itself is only 36 degress Celsius so it's not that my cooler is weak. When i went to touch one of the VRM heatsinks they were way to hot to even consider touching.

I'm just wondering what MOBO would be very nice and cool while OCing here. I listed my budget above. I would prefer ASUS but I don't mind what brand.

Also, if there is something else you would like to know don't be afraid to ask, I will respond as quick as I can.
