Hi,
Can you please tell me what motherboard do you use for your AM3+ chip ? I've got a fx-8120 on a very cheap ASUS M5A78L-M LX, with good cooling (water cooling), but after a few minutes in full load at over 3.7Ghz it starts throtteling down the CPU, most likely because of bad VRMs on the board. And yes, I did try to put a small fan over the VRM, its useless.
Can you recommend a decent (erm, cheap if possible) board that will hold my CPU stable at 4ghz.

Thanks
