Best OC mobo For IB for £150

[PaddieMayne]

As above really, i have an i7 3770k in bound and im looking for an aesthetically pleasing mobo that is also a very good overclocker for £150-£170max.

Thanks in advance.

What colour are other parts of your rig though. For £150 i would say MSI Z77 mPower as it's OC tested at the factory and MSIs z77 range are all fantastic and this is their cream of the crop (excluding thunderbolt).

Asus Z77 Maximus V Gene.

I do like the colour scheme of the MSI mobos more than the ASUS ones, so whats the best MSI board to get for £150ish?

Is this any good ? As the M-Power series does not seem to be in stock anywhere?

Go with the Z77A-GD65.

If you like Msi,thats the one you want to buy.

Either GD65 or mPower.

I'd buy the mPower for the looks

A forum favourite, the GD65. You'll be very happy with it if you do go for it.
If you can find the MPower though...it's the one i'd go for. They test the boards individually for stable overclocks in extreme thermal conditions - melikey

Yes i like both but just cant seem to find the M power in stock any where, so might just have to go for the 65 as its available every where.

May be worth phoning one of the r/etailers up and see when they'll be taking delivery. But if you do go with the GD65, you won't be disappointed

Sabertooth.
