yeah its supported as the mobo supports cpu upto 140w tdp..Just want to make sure because i think the mobo is getting hot under load (when i play games). also it doesn't have any heat sinks on VRM.So will it be safe or last longer?

Might be of some help to read this forums database about VRM and potential need of active cooling of VRM. Pick Asus in the tab (links down in the table for AM3+) and then you will see your MB is rated as 4+1 phase count for VRM. It will probably work, but it will be very depending on the quality of power from your own PSU and how cool your case manage to keep those VRM (and the ambient temperature in the rest of your system together with CPU) to avoid sudden down throttling while CPU is under heavy load.

I think it is better to go for those MB and chipset that according to this database will provide enough cooling without OC and without the need of an active fan over VRM parts to begin with. Micro ATX format would also mean that most ppl will get a smaller case (mATX sized) which will have less space for cooling, so in a way it negates the purpose even on a very small budget to get this MB as just for small step up in price you will get a full size ATX MB and not be buying a micro ATX sized case (as there seem to be very little option to find any good replacement of this MB that will be micro ATX sized).

Thanks for the information..however i have got cooler master elite 334u mid tower cabinet(micro atx/ atx).so will it be good for cooling if i go for m5a97 evo becasue its a atx motherboard..

It depends on what kind of videocard, PSU and how much other components you have in your case. If you have a high end GPU which might produce hot air within this case or a non modular PSU with low efficiency which will mean heat instead of power, then it might all together will be adding heat into your system which will also effect your CPUs temperature. Add into this as an example of cramped front space with many HD (which also produce heat) or SSD that block intake for front fan, then you can imagine it is hard to speculate how your system will react during stress.

The board you suggest seem to be common for OC, but make sure that is is a later revision of that board (ASUS M5A97 EVO R2.0). Don't forget that the more you stress (OC) your motherboard, the more you will also need a good power supply to keep things going and add into that efficient fans (but not too many) to support a steady flow of air.
