Hows overclocking on this mobo and also cooling on it. If no good say what I should buy instead. Im building a black and red themed build.


R5 1400/1500x
Rx 480 8gb, Asus/Msi (ROG & gaming x)
Corsair h7
Gigabyte ab350-gaming 3
16 gb (2x8gb) ram lpx vengeance 3200 mhz (red)
Phanteks p400s TGE (special edition red)
Corsair cx550m

Great board, and bios updates to improve it even further, are on the way, however, the only downside is, if you plan on heavily overclocking, the VRM's do get a bit on the hot side, especially as you're water cooling, it means you dont have any air movement down in that area, im running the mATX version of the board, they are basically the same board, just a smaller version that I have, i have an Antec spot cool at the moment over my VRM's, but im going to grab one of these and reverse my rear exhaust fan to do the job for me instead, looks clean and part of the case.
