I currently have a AMD FX-6350 and bought a aio cooler planning to overclock more than before since I had a 212 evo but I can't and I am presuming it is because of the power phases and cheaper board. I have a Asrock 970m Pro3 and Biostar TA970 motherboard. Both of the boards have a 4+1 phase power delivery and max cpu support up to 140w. I was wondering if a ASRock 990fx killer with a 8+2 power phase would be better for overclocking. The 990fx killer says up to 140w watts aswell but has a 8+2 phase instead of a 4+1. My fx 6350 is at 4.4ghz and any more it just becomes unstable. Temps are not a issue as I have a Kraken x61 aio liquid cooler. I can get the asrock 990fx killer board for cheap and sell one of the other boards. I was wondering if the added power phases will help me overclock more than 4.4ghz. I was confused since the 970m board has a worse power delivery but supports 140w just like the 990fx killer. I also figure since my 6350 is 125w stock at 3.9ghz and at 4.4ghz and a voltage bump it should be right at that 140w mark on my current board. Money is not an issue, just want to get the most from my cpu and watercooler.
