So im looking at either a MSI 990FXA-GD65 OR a Asus M5A99X EVO, im guessing people will say the Asus, but the MSI has a 6 pin going straight to the pci lanes, which im guessing provides better overclocking? or gives some sort of advantage, and it looks interesting, not sure myself if it makes a difference, but hopefully someone can fill me in on that!
Ive heard good things about both boards, but the main reason im wanting a new one is due to overclocking potential, and my ASRock Extreme3 apparently wont even touch an oc as the VRMs just instantly overheat, and the power phase design is 4+1 which isnt enough for the 8320, and im also having boot issues, which ive decided to blame on the motherboard so i have another reason to get one....
But yeah, help me out as im not too familiar with motherboards as im more a GPU person!
