I have an i5 3570k. It currently sits in ASRock z77 extreme 4. I want to make a mini itx build using the node 202 because i work away alot so it will be coming with me everywhere i go.

Where can i find a mini-itx board that will support my 3570k? Obviously i would like to be overclocking my chip some but that will only work on a z77 chipset (please correct me if im wrong) and i can not find these anywhere, not even ebay! I would even use a H or Q version and lose the overclock but i can not find any 7 series boards any where.

I tell a lie, i found a jetway q77 are they any good? I have only heard of the big brands and have no knowledge of any other makers.

Can a six series chipset be used with my cpu?

Any and all help/abuse welcome.

Thanks in advance.

3570k is a 2012 model. In June 2013, Intel went to new Socket LGA 1150 with the 8 Series Chipsets.

There is nothing much still be sold as new with Socket LGA 1155 anymore. The no frills economy model H61 is still available.
For your CPU, Newegg has mini-ITX form factor:
JetWay JNF9E-Q77 LGA 1155 Intel
ASUS P8H61-I R2.0 LGA 1155 Intel

You might also try the used eBay market.
