Hello
Many people seem to be saying not to go above i3 for a low end board such as my Asus H310m-k, even reviewers say it.
I couldn't help but always think these people are full of <expletive removed> and just speculating, while having really no evidence to back this up, just assuming the VRM wouldn't handle it because it's a cheap board blablabla.. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be a good match with a locked 65w CPU.. I even see people who have no issues with VRM running i7's on such boards.
Now what do you true experienced hardware enthousiast, who can look beyond this bias, think of this?
