I have heard there is. The board I had could apparently do it. Can you get me a cheap, nice and small as possible atx case that is compatible with my build and a motherboard for around £70 or lower.
 
To overclock a AM3+ FX series CPU you need a 970 board or better. There is no mATX boards that can do this.

You can go to pcapartspiker.com go to motherboard, select am3+ as the socket (can even expand it to am3/am3+), microATX as the form factor and 970 and 990fx chipsets and you get 0 results. Remove the mATX requirement, bamn many results
