I am looking for a motherboard for Intel i5 3570k I am going to buy in the end of the month, and I am searching for the best bang for the buck mobo I could use to overclock the CPU to 4.2GHz for regular use.
I was about to buy Asrock Z77 Pro3 (4+1 power phase) but then I saw that there's Asrock Z75 Pro3 (4+1 power phase) , which costs even less.
Both of them seem to look the same to me so what's the big deal there?
Oh, there's also Asrock Z77 Pro4 that apparently has 4+2 power phase. Would I benefit from it?
There's not much information I could find on Google, except that Z75 doesn't support Intel's SSD caching function but that's not something I am going to use anyway.
Here's the motherboard comparison http://www.asrock.com/mb/compare.us.asp?SelectedModel=Z77+Pro4&SelectedModel=Z77+Pro3&SelectedModel=Z75+Pro3
