Cheap ivy motherboard that clocks well.

[clone]

Will be buying a GTX690 soon and im after a cheap ivy motherboard that will clock a i5-3570K to 4.5ghz and have good resale as i will sell it on when the EVGA F.T.W ivy board comes out.

Cooling will be corsair H80 WITH 2 Scythe Gentle Typhoon 1850 in push pull running @ 12v

Got about £100 for the board but cheaper will be better

Most boards will do 4.4ghz but after that its the cpu that can cause most of the problem with increased voltage to hit 4.5ghz and excesive heat. I suggest you look at what spec the boards you want such as extra ports , sli,etc.

how does the motherboard effect the overclocking of a cpu?

In many many ways. e.g Providing Clean and Stable power to the CPU.

but if you have a good psu then thats stable power?

Had the z68 65 board loved it very stable and clocked well with little ease.

The ASRock Z77 Extreme4

Premium bit of kit without the premium price tag retailing just now for £111.98 and to be honest IMO I don’t think the aesthetics on a motherboard could get any better; great overclocker also.

psu powers the mobo

mobo powers the cpu

The ASRock Z77 Extreme4 + i5 = good set-up?
