Its that time of year again and I am back looking for a good motherboard for my sons PC. So it looks like the....

ASUS ROG Crosshair V Formula-Z AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 8 x SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Gaming Motherboard with 3-Way SLI/CrossFireX Support and UEFI BIOS

....is still the best option for his 8350. I want to overclock. But I would like to know if anybody knows if the board has plenty room between socket and memory as his Noctua NH-U9B CPU cooler fan retainers obstruct the board he has. And also to confirm the board is the standard usual size.

Thx

Check THIS (LINK) for mobo compatibility.

If you have not bought your RAM yet, avoid the ones with the tall heat spreaders as these can sometimes interfere with the CPU cooler.

Yes, your mobo is ATX.
