What is the max voltage my MOBO can support?

[Kingbob]

Heres the mobo I have:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131851

It has a 6+2 VRM. And has lots of decent overclocking features. I know that the sabertooth is better for overclocking but I think that this board has most of the same features. I just got a great water cooler and I'm looking at getting to 5GHz. What is the max voltage and other settings (like CPU power capabilities (100%, 110%, 120%, 130%, 140%) amongst other settings) that my board will be able to hit? Will it be fine at 1.5v? What type of power settings can it go up too?

Thanks for the responses.

Supports CPUs up to 140watts, now how far towards your 5GHz target depends on the chip, power supply, memory and how stable the board will be with the extra volts going through the VRM's, that have a heatsink on them, but may not be enough.

PSU dependent, Your board will be fine outputting 1.5v but it all depends on what CPU you are installing as to what voltage and overclock you are going to get. 1.5 volts will fry some CPU's.

I have a 850w 80+Bronze PSU and the FX 8350.

Will this make it more probable?

Everything looks good..Remember every CPU is different so you may get a 5GHz oc on 1 chip but less on another. With the hardware you have you should be able to get a good overclock. Remember to start at stock speeds and run stress test and record temps so you have a reference point to start from. Make small increases on the overclock then re test (bump up the cores then when unstable make a SMALL voltage bump then re test). Keep going until the system becomes unstable then back off to last stable test. Just make sure you dont go past 62c on the cores and 1.5v. That I think is the maximum safe temp and voltage for that chip

Wtf this post got fucked up somehow

Anyways that motherboard does not how 6+2 phase, it has 4 phase.

Look at this video, it shows how ASUS, ASRock and MSI fools us:

Hi iTzStick, just want to ask, why do you need the IDE ports for? Do you still use old hard drives?
If you are planning to buy the GTX 780 TI I suggest you get newer motherboards, and they don't have IDE anymore.
I suggest you check these following boards:

Asus Z87 PRO LGA 1150 or if you have a larger budget, ASUS Maximus VI EXTREME LGA 1150 Intel Z87

Please don't recommend ASUS, ASRock or MSI motherboards.

Please see this video by an engineer on how ASUS, ASRock and MSI fools you:
