How well can i overclock w/ a 212 Evo?

the board i suggested is a 6+2 power phases and the asus is a 6+2+2 power phase so it is a better board. however the msi is good enough.

well the board was $90 on newegg now it is sold out amazon should still have it for $99

MSI 970 Gaming AM3+

edit:

nevermid it is now going for $30 over retail price

either of the boards listed so far will perform equally.

as far as what speed it will come down to how good of a chip you have gotten. a better cooler should give more headroom for a better overclock

But I heard MSI has VRM cooling issues?

not disagreeing but josh walrath reviewed that board over at pcper.com and said he has been running that board for 3 months non stop with a 9590 with no issue and he even got just slightly better overclocks. when you can get that board at $90 it is a good deal. if you have the budget get the more expensive board it is more power effecient
