Bought these components a few months ago and just recently added the 212 plus cpu cooler. This has been my first build so I'm sure I'm still pretty newby, but I'm having troubles overclocking my cpu and I'm pretty sure its because of the low phase and unheatsinked vrm. Didn't really know there was vrm when I purchased it, but now I'm considering changing boards so I can easily overclock my cpu and gpu. So, if there are any, whats a good board that could fit in my case (probably only takes matx) and is good enough to overclock to at least 4.5Ghz? The more cost conscious the better but I could go up close to 80 or maybe even higher if necessary. Thanks in advance!!
