Best overclock motherboard

[keithhouseworth]

Hey guys, I’m wanting to build a super compact htpc and I want to use an i3 7350k with an itx mobo. I’m wanting it to be as small as possible so I would use the igpu. Is there a mobo out there that I can over clock integrated graphics through the bios? Strix z270-i? ASRock fatality?

Love those ITX builds.

What case are you planning on using?
Many will accommodate a compact discrete graphics card.

If you will use integrated graphics, plan on using the fastest dual channel ram.
Assign plenty of system ram as vram.

I might also suggest that you consider the 9th gen processors which will use the faster HD630 integrated graphics.
I3-8350K is similar in price to the i3-7350K.

I saw an article which showed an asrock discrete adapter overclock panel on a z170 motherboard, so I might assume that one would be present on newer motherboards.
A look at the motherboard manual bios options may show such a setting.
The options were not very great though.

I had been looking at some rgeek cases or something around that size.
The reason I went with the 7350k is due to the lower tdp but I’ll explore more generations.
The discrete oc adapter is a pcie card??
