Hi all,
Built my pc a month ago and now that I'm looking into overclocking, I realise that I shouldn't have cheaped out on the motherboard. Can anyone suggest a good board around £100 that will be good for overclocking the 8350 to 4.6Ghz range, support good crossfire and is compatible with the rest of my components? (Parts below)
(When I say 'good crossfire' I heard that although most boards support crossfire, some do it better than others, something to do with x16? Not too sure
)
Many thanks.
