Hello everyone, I'm rebuilding my rig into a matx NZXT Vulcan and I'm looking for a matx 1156 motherboard that will get my i5 750 up to 4ghz with 24/7 stability. The i5 750 that I'm currently using, and will use for this upgrade, is running at 3.5ghz on stock voltage with 24/7 stability in my Asrock p55 pro using G.Skill 1866 ram and a Hyper 212+ at 66C max. The board needs to have an open pci slot when a double slotted gpu is used and be under $100. I'd also prefer if the board had a cpu socket that is lower on the board so I can bring my Hyper 212+ over to the Vulcan and for it to have sli or xfire capabilities.
I see everyone recommending the Gene III, and I'll keep an eye on its prices in hopes for a deal, but $140+ a motherboard is a little too much for me. I'm currently looking at the following boards but am certainly open for suggestions:
