Motherboard for amd fx 8210

[titanazzz]

Hello,
I decided to change my motherboard because it seriously bottlenecks my CPU. Currently I have a very cheap and basic Asus m5a97 L-M LX and after a bit of research I've decided to stick to one of these :
1. Asrock fatal1ty FX990 Killer
2. GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3


The main reason is that I would like to overcloak my CPU a bit - currently because of hot VRMs it throttles down in high load, even at default 3.2ghz - and I would like to boost it to about 4.4.ghz.

Thanks!

Here is another to consider -- Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard.

Do you have / had this ? How did it work ?

No but it is a good board for its price.

For a 3.2-4.4GHz overclock I would recommend the Fatal1ty it would be on the safer side, it allows for higher RAM frequencies, and is meant for overclocking.

Thanks, I've decided to stick with the Fatal1ty, as I found a very cheap <used>one (slightly less than half the price), still in warranty, in my town.
