[Hmody Wakid]

Hello guys this is my first time posting here.My question is: im buying a new gaming/working pc with i7 5820k and h100i cooler. now im kinda confused about what MOBO i should buy to overclock it. my goal is to get 4.2-4.3ghz stable now im thinking of getting the MSI X99s gaming7. will it be able to do that with no problems. (i dont wanna overclock ram )

The MSI X99 Gaming 7 is a good motherboard. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130795

You should have no issues with that OC and board.

I recommend ASUS for overclocking and stability on X99 platform.

BTW i dont recommend h100i as it doesnt offer (much) more cooling than dual tower air coolers and its noisy as hell. Putting low rpm fans will decrease cooling performance to below top air coolers. This goes for (almost) all AIO CL (basically everything made by asetek so 99% of all).

tip: go for 2666mhz ram. Gskill ripjaws4 are recommended.
