Best MicroATX AM3+ board for overclocking

[MisterFatDuck]

I'm searching for an AM3+ MicroATX mobo for proper overclocking, I have GA78-LMT-USB3 now, but the BIOS sucks and I can't even change my CPU vcore

You already have the best there is. For some reason, no one makes a decent AM3+ mATX.

That's pretty sad, I can't do anything with it, just raise the multiplier..

Good to know. I almost bought that board when Tiger had it for $40. No vcore adjustment?

You must not have rev 5.0
That one's BIOS has all sorts of OC control.

Nope, or maybe it's just me that's doing something wrong..

No good AMD micro atx board exist for overclocking , you need ATX with AM3+.

If you had the Rev 5.0 board, your BIOS should look like this. System Voltage Control needs to be changed to manual from auto.

I don't really have the option to go ATX for two reasons:
1) I move my computer 1-2 times a week and I don't want it bigger than it already is.
2) If it was only a new motherboard, okay, but when I go ATX I also need to buy a new case. And that's out of my budget.

Understood.

I think I have rev 2.0 if I'm not mistaken. But the weird thing is I see CPU VCore and all that stuff but it's greyed out.

The only ones Gigabyte lists are 4.1 and 5.0 http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4602#ov
...unless you have a really old one.

I presume your BIOS doesn't look like the above pic?

It's pretty much the same but blue.

It's pretty much the same but blue.

Then you have Rev 4.1 or older. You can upgrade to Rev 5 if you want better OC capabilities.

Yeah maybe I'll do that, thanks for the help
