Richland ITX Motherboard Help

[JCX50]

Hello all,

I really want to build an A10 Richland APU ITX build in a Bitfenix Prodigy and want to overclock with a H100i.
I know OcUK only have 2 ITX FM2 motherboards, but does this board overclock well or not at all?
Another question is, is there much differnce betwen A55/A75 and A85X for overclocking? Should i wait until a A85X FM2 ITX board comes out?

1 x AMD A10-6800K Black Edition 4.10GHz (Socket FM2) APU Richland Quad Core Processor (AD680KWOHLBOX) £124.99
1 x Corsair Hydro H100i High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler (Socket 1155 / 1150 / 1156 / 1366 / 2011 / AM2 / AM3 / FM1 / FM2) £103.99

They have a tendency to pop, go for the AsRock FM2A85X-ITX. The choice of motherboards is really very poor

what do you mean, "Pop"? XD

Really poor VRMs on the Asrock A75. Have a look at the overclock.net thread about it (pics linked in the first post);

Thanks for telling me, that wouldn't be good if that happened to me and Asrock say its the users fault! HA :O

Would you prefer another brand? For example, MSI?

There are only 3 readily available FM2 ITX boards (there are a couple of pricey Zotacs out there, but they're difficult to source). The A75 Asrock is a dog, so that leaves the MSI (solid, but no Voltage adjustment available) or the A85x Asrock, which seems the best one but isn't quite as easy to find and costs a bit more.
