Hello,
My GTX 970 graphics card is being severely bottlenecked by my i7-870 CPU. I'd like to mildly OC the 870, which is more than capable of 4ghz, but I forgot that the motherboard I'm using originally came from an OEM PC. Hence the BIOS is locked.
I'm really struggling, I'm looking for a very specific motherboard - next year I'm aiming to buy a new CPU and board, but for now I'd like to keep my i7-870 running, alas I can't find a board for it anywhere online!
It must be an LGA1156, Micro ATX, or mini-ITX (my case will take either)
I don't mind if it's used.
Preferably a UK vendor or reputable international. Really appreciate any input.
