Micro ATX LGA 1155 MOBO that Supports OCing ?

Featured Replies

I would like to upgrade my ASRock H77M micro ATX to a mobo that will support OCing my i5-3570k. There does not seem to be a lot of choices when it comes to micro mobos, but I did find an ASRock Fatal1ty Z77 Professional-M LGA 1155.  Is this a good choice, or would you recommend something else?

Thx,

Al

I found a couple of other mATX mobos that look promising:
 ASUS P8Z77-M PRO LGA 1155,  and the non-PRO version of this board.

Decided to go with the ASUS P8Z77-M PRO. Hopefully it will work out well.

I just want to close the loop here in cased the info is useful to someone. I installed the ASUS P8Z77-M Pro motherboard and all seems to be working well at 4.2GHz (haven't tried going any higher at this point). Under a stress test with all four cores running at 4.2Ghz core temps are around 55 deg C which is about in the middle of the acceptable temperature range. The i5 cooler is a Antec Kuhler 620 water unit which I also used on my previous i3 setup mainly because of space limitations in the case -- didn't really have room for a cooler with "large fins" sitting on the processor.
