    Recommendation for i7-4790K

    Hi I'm currently running a i7-4790K Devil's Canyon on an ASUS H81M-K motherboard which does not allow overclocking. I'm looking to replace it with a different Micro-ATX Z-Series motherboard that will allow me to overclock the chip. Any recommendations? Preferably under $100.

    ram doesnt fit, notches just centimeters off

    This is DDR2 ram (the ram i tried to use) but it doesnt fit. is that because it needs SDRAM and this is not SDRAM? http://www.ebay.com/itm/160673304659?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    ram doesnt fit, notches just centimeters off

    What kind of ram would I need for this type of board? I bought a lot of three of these older intel motherboards to build them up and sell them, but the ram I got does not fit, the notch is a little off. Not sure how to tell exactly what type of ram I need... The three motherboards I have all...

    Thanks for your help I found this one from MSI for quite a good price and it even has a GTX 820M in it. I've been debating a new laptop for a long time and I think I'll just fork up the extra dough and get something that I can actually use. Thanks again for your help i7Baby...
