Is the Asus P8Z77-V Pro a good board for overclocking?

With watercooling and a 3770K what speeds do you think it might reach with this motherboard?

Thanks

If you want extreme overclocking you better go with an asrock z77 oc formula.

Not extremem overclocking no, I just want to push the 3770K to something like 4.8ghz. I'll be using an XSPC Raystorm 750 RS360 watercooling kit n the Xigmatek Elysium.

Which of these two boards would be better for that purpose: Asus P8Z77-V PRO or MSI
Z77A-GD65?

4.8 GHZ on a 3770k, i consider that an extreme overclocking and you'll be needing watercooling (like the one you're planning) and for that i still think the asrock Z77 OC Formula will be your best choice and it's only 10-20$ more.

I've checked the prices and I can get those two for roughly £130, the asrock board you mentioned is £200.

How is the Asus Sabertooth? I can get that for £160.

I'm going to get the MSI Big Bang MPower.
