Overclocking on this motherboard.

[BaddieMcBad]

Hey guys, I have an i5-3570k on this motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131965

I've read some bad things about OC'ing on cheap mobo's (something something VRM cooling), so I wanted to run it by you guys before I attempt it.

Thanks!

It will do fine with a mild overclock (4GHz+) since the 3570K is relatively low power at stock, not like the upper end AMD's which are power hungry already at stock clocks.

So I should be fine but I shouldn't push the voltage too hard?

I have both the P8Z77 LX and LK and both handle the 3570K fine at 4.2ghz and volts on Auto.

I'd like some more opinions (nothing personal, I just want a general consensus).

Also what's the max voltage you think I should push?
